    Only because of a lack of will, in my opinion. There are other countries don't view land reclamation as that crazy an idea but in Ireland we seem to have an aversion to big projects, even when they would bring substantial benefits.

    Land has been reclaimed in Ireland going back a long time.

    there is talk of a tunnel or bridge connecting here and the uk, but they will have electric planes in operation, well before that would ever be a remote possiblity

    in relation to reclaimed land, dublin port should reclaim the fifty acres they wanted years ago and consolidate all port activities on the north side. That would allow thousands more homes in the IGBS and on the free'd up land on the south side. Even better, relocate the entire port and house a hundred thousand there!

    I just looked at harry crosbie suggestion there for the tolka estuary, if you could house 65,000 there, a few hundred people max lose their sea view... if that and the port were relocatd, you could house maybe 150,000-200,000 extra people?

    masses of the employment are in the docklands, with far more planned. most of the sites there left, are under construction. It would make a huge amont of sense, to create a new district on a huge scale in my opinion...
