A bill to redevelop the National Monument at Moore Street has been published by Fianna Fáil.

The Moore Street Area Renewal and Development Bill 2015 will establish an urban development company tasked with delivering urban regeneration at the very heart of Dublin city.

Fianna Fáil Spokesperson on Dublin Senator Darragh O'Brien said: "Moore Street is the birthplace of the Republic and it must be treasured one of our most important National Monuments. Today we have unveiled a Bill to regenerate and preserve the entire area. If enacted, our Bill will establish a development company that will have powers to compulsory purchase land with the aim of revitalising the Moore Street area.

"The Moore Street site is of historic significance and should be given the prominence that it deserves. It also has great economic potential and we want to see a greater vision for the use of the whole terrace and adjoining lands on North O'Connell Street."
