Yes, thank you, that is quite clear.   I think that is the best you can do in Haskell.  I really don't see it as inelegant at all.  You define the variables d1 through d15 and then dirList is a function of those definitions.   You type d1 once for its definition and next for its use.  You would like to combine the two activities?  Something like this perhaps?
 
dirLst  = [d1 = "somedir",  d15 = "otherdir"]

How would these variables be scoped?
