A new agency could be set up to preserve and protect Moore Street in Dublin if a Sinn Féin bill becomes law later this week.
The street was where the 1916 rebels made their last stand, after escaping from the ruins of the G.P.O.
The bill would give legal recognition to the street as a cultural quarter and set up a non-profit board to manage it.
Dublin TD Aengus Ó Snodaigh will present the bill on Wednesday.
He says the project would save far more than an historic battlefield.
