Save the GPO: Protect Our National Heritage from Commercialisation

Photo by Diogo Palhais on Unsplash
Halt all commercial redevelopment plans for Dublin’s General Post Office (GPO). Protect and preserve the GPO as a cultural and historical site, free from retail and office developments, in honour of its central role in the 1916 Easter Rising.

Why is this important?

The GPO is one of Ireland’s most iconic buildings—ground zero for the 1916 Rising and a national symbol of Irish freedom. Turning this sacred space into a shopping and office complex is not development—it’s desecration.

The GPO should be strengthened as a historical and cultural hub that honours our past, not turned over to commercial interests.

We believe in respecting our heritage and keeping public space for public good—not for profit.
