Note 1:
The Number of sites shown for Dublin Corporation includes sites for which compulsory purchase orders have been confirmed. Some of these may not as yet have been taken into actual possession by the corporation. Details of these are not readily available in my Department.
Information on the value in current market terms of these sites is not available in my Department. Because of the varying topographical features of sites and of the wide variations in possible layout and designs of housing schemes, it is not possible to indicate the average development costs of such sites.
