Two-venue plan urged for Abbey

Archiseek / Ireland / News / 2001 / February 21 2001: Two-venue plan urged for Abbey

The call came from Labour TD and former arts minister Mr Michael D. Higgins, who said it was "unfortunate" that arguments about the site of a new or redeveloped theatre had so far overshadowed all other considerations.
