Building Ireland - Season 3 - Eps 6: Marino Garden Suburb
In 1922, the new Irish government set about solving Dublin's housing crisis with a revolutionary housing scheme. The Marino Garden Suburb was one of the first schemes in Europe to provide high quality public housing with spacious gardens and parkland. 1500 houses were ultimately built to a range of innovative architectural designs and they are just as desirable today as they were in the 1920s.
