It is good news for engaged couples

GOOD news for hundreds of engaged couples hunting for sites on which to build—there will be available no fewer than 1,442 sites… but not immediately. This was announced at a meeting of the Housing Committee of Dublin City Council.
Sites are so scarce that applicant for them have to take the luck of the draw. The names are put in a hat, and the only priority is to tenants of Corporation houses and to families on the priority list for Corporation housing.
It was learned that 500 sites would be ready for handing over in the coming financial year and another 700 to 1968-69. _The sites are in Coolock (390), Kilbarrack (352), Finglas Ballygall (54), Milltown (14), Baldoyle (300), Kimmage Martin’s Land (52), and Howth (50).
The Housing Committee approved the development plan for Martin’s Lands, Lower Kimmage Road, where it is proposed to carry out re-alignment, deepening and regrading of the Poddle to eliminate flooding.
