Re: Re: Welcome to Ireland’s ugly urban sprawl

If Dublin has a built-up area with a radius in the region of 8-10 miles maximum stretching out on three sides, can this really be called ‘sprawl’? Is this an exaggeration? Even taking the satelite towns of Maynooth, Celbridge, Swords etc into account, it is still a very small portion of Leinster. It certainly still has a very low population density in comparison to the regions surrounding other European capital cities.
