Save Moore Street from Demolition

We the undersigned wish the Moore Street area to be conserved as a cultural historical quarter and street market. We wish the sixteen-building Moore Street terrace to remain intact.

A building on the corner of Sheare Street and Moore Street in Cork appears to be derelict for a number of years. If you take a look at the location on Google Maps you can go back through the years.

In 2014 it appears someone broke the right hand window as it is covered by wood but in the next photo the window is covered by that paint again. Some time between 2017 and 2019 the front of the building was given a lick of paint. The pavement in front was upgraded in that time too so that might account for that.

There’s a bouquet of flowers outside the building in 2017 making me dread to think what reason it was there. 🙁

Anyway, this building is in a great location. It appears to have been an office. This and other buildings around the city that are underused might find more use as a residential building.

And on it goes. Hammerson don't realise that making the Moore Street terrace that was the last stand of the GPO Garrison in the Rising a Museum of 1916 would be a tremendous draw to whatever they build there. (Though personally I think housing would be better than a city centre mall.) https://www.irishtimes.com/crime-law/courts/2023/01/05/moore-street-buildings-subject-of-proceedings-lodged-against-dublin-city-council/ #MooreStreet #Rising #Developer #Hammerson
