I am not sure it is correct to say that the initiative covers every pre-1915 building. I looked at the map drawn up by Dublin City Council on the buildings that are covered by the scheme. The map looks like a puzzle and streets have been cut across even though they are the same housing age. In other words, half a street is included while the remainder is omitted. While it is worthwhile that the initiative has been extended to include more than Georgian housing, nevertheless the attempt to include all pre-1915 buildings has been unsuccessful. I do not think any local authority has attempted to include all pre-1915 buildings.
