Moore Street has a special place in the hearts of Dubliners. Firstly, because it is home to the city’s oldest market, but also because it symbolizes an episode in Irish history… During the Easter Rising in 1916, 6 Irish nationalists surrendered to British forces on the terrace of a house in Moore Street.

Since then, Moore Street N°14, 16 and 17 have been declared National Monuments in 2007. However, a current housing development could threaten the preservation of these houses, which is causing quite a stir in Dublin.
