The High Court has ruled that additional buildings on Moore Street should form part of the National Monument.
Relatives of those who fought in the 1916 rising are celebrating the ruling as a major victory.
In a statement, the Heritage Minister says she'll study the judgement, and regrets that the public will not be able to access 14 to 17 Moore Street during the centenary celebrations, as had been planned.
Statement from Minister Humphreys re Moore Street High Court Judgement
The Minister for Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht, Heather Humphreys, T.D., and her officials will carefully study today's High Court judgement regarding Moore Street.
Speaking today, Minister Humphreys said:
"This was a complex case and the judgement, which runs to more than 400 pages, needs to be studied in detail.“
"My priority up to this point has been to progress the important works to preserve the National Monument at No’s 14-17, which was the final headquarters of the 1916 leaders.
"My officials and I will consider this judgement in detail before making any decisions on further actions."
The Minister regrets that the public will not now be in a position to access 14-17 Moore St during the centenary period as had been planned.
The High Court has ruled that restoration and building work on Moore Street must stop, pending a review of the buildings as a national monument.
Numbers 14 to 17 Moore Street had earlier been designated a National Monument, but relatives of those who fought in the 1916 Rising wanted additional buildings preserved.
Judge Max Barrett said he was restraining the Minister for Heritage from carrying out works on numbers 13 to 19.
He also said the High Court was satisfied that surrounding areas were of national importance.
The matter will return to the High Court in April, after the Minister has a chance to review the judgement.
