It is understood that Dublin Corporation decided in 1953, following discussions between officers of my Department and the Corporation of the recommendations made by the Housing Committee referred to by the Deputy, that a maximum density of 100 habitable rooms per acre for central City flats and the existing maximum density of 12 cottages per acre represented satisfactory densities on planning and economic grounds.
