I welcome more housing in the area to meet the chronic shortage and the fact it's a stones throw from the train station so it makes sense but it just means the area becomes more of a concrete jungle. One of the compromises of urban living I guess....

Suburban areas need trees its the one thing that make it different the urban living in say Smithfield. And im against the building of more homes on every last available patch of land, there will be no distinction between dublin, kildare and meath when the development south west of hansfield station in completed, thousands of houses, no new facilities, amenities, roads of rail carriages. If i could swap my home with sombody in the city i would as dublin 15 is going in the wrong direction.
