"The grandson of James Connolly has expressed concern at the condition of No 16 Moore Street, the final headquarters of the provisional government during the Easter Rising in 1916.
John Connolly yesterday described the neglect of the house as "shameful" and said that, despite commitments to preserve the building, it was falling apart before his very eyes.
Mr Connolly, who lives in Bray, Co Wicklow, and who owns a welding and engineering company, said he has observed that the building is missing a substantial number of roof slates, which he fears is leaving the interior exposed to the elements."

Jump To Comment: 1 2the grandson of a revolutionary syndicalist owns capital!
Revolutionary socialism is not passed in someones genes, its not an inherited condition you numbskull. People become revolutionary socialists through the experience of theory and practice, not by some familial osmosis. It does'nt matter a whit to revolutionary socialists whether Connollys grandson is a capitalist, a buddhist or a garden gnome, whats important is spreading the marxist ideas and method of Connolly in a modern context.
