Dublin City Councillors are to debate the demolition of The O'Rahilly House today.

An emergency motion has been tabled after the house which belonged to a 1916 leader was bulldozed last week.

This emergency motion comes as Dublin City Council is to take legal action over the demolition.

The house at 40 Herbert Road Dublin 4 was a bulldozed last Tuesday as part of a 66 million euro development which will contain 105 apartments.

Michael Joseph ‘The’ O’Rahilly lived at the property before he was killed during the Easter Rising.

Now a number of Councillors are calling for a range of measures including the immediate restoration of the house, and for Dublin City Council to carry out a review into remaining sites linked to 1916.

They also want to see an overhaul of planning legislation to restore the competence of the local authority in all planning arrangements.
