Industrial estates are notable for being relatively simple to build; they often feature speedily erected single-space steel sheds, occasionally in bright colours. What follows is a series of photographs depicting industrial estates located in Dublin.

Up to two-thirds of Dublin city's industrial estates and business parks are set to be redeveloped for housing under new plans from Dublin City Council.

The council intends to redesignate large tracts of lands zoned for employment and enterprise purposes so they can be used to build thousands of homes to tackle the capital’s housing crisis.

The council's head of housing, Brendan Kenny, last year said the city would "run out" of residentially zoned development land in four years and must turn its attention to industrial estates as a source of new housing land.
