I don't know about north Dublin, but I was talking to DLRCC yesterday and, while last year they cleared the waiting list for lotties, by July they had 68 on the list and it's currently at 151 waiting for a plot (dole out of unused/no longer tenanted and a couple of new plots is due around early Feb but nothing like 151 will be available). Apparently there's been an explosion of interest in the past 12 months.
