What do you think about saving this place? Is this derelict building that has been left to rot a part of our heritage or should it make way for some more shops & fast food joints?

As Mairt points out we did cover this before.

There's no doubt that the building should be preserved. And those who doubt it WAS the building should read the account of Nurse Elizabeth O'Farrell who (before her death obviously) stood in the street and picked out that building as the one in which the decision to surrender was taken.

I believe there's more in the original thread.

I think it definately should be preserved, Infact i think the rest of moore street should too, its one of the only places left in dublin with any character and that'll all be lost. looking back through the pics in the sticky in this forum you see how much like the street has already lost. id hate to see it as yet another concrete jungle.
