Love/Hate actor John Connors has slammed Dublin City Council over "dangerously unhygienic" facilities at a halting site in Belcamp Lane in north Dublin, after residents' water turned brown.
The actor's family members live at the halting site, which is managed by Dublin City Council. This week residents reported that their water coming out of taps had turned "murky brown", and that several people in the camp have reportedly become unwell.
Taking to social media this week, Mr Connors said that the council had promised the residents at the camp electricity, clean running water and toilets for many years. He said: "In 2014 after years of our family campaigning for these basic amenities, I happened to be doing press for the final season of Love/Hate. Dublin City Council were out and rigged up our electricity which they told us would only support couple of television for households and lights, we pay for electricity like everyone else.
