Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Local Government and Heritage
Report of Housing Commission: Housing Commission
2:00 am
Mr. David O'Connor:
Historically, we have had some very dense development of houses. I draw the attention of the committee to places like Stoneybatter and parts of Ballsbridge directly opposite the RDS, which are not far from here. They have densities in the area of 70 units per hectare. They are small houses, but they are perfectly viable. It is still possible to build those kinds of house if we do not take them over with car parking spaces, for example. There is more than one way of skinning this cat. We need to get that out there.
