Ballymun family at wits end with stench of sewage flowing into home for decade

A Ballymun family are at their wits end dealing with a nasty stench of sewage in their home for over a decade.

Linda Donnelly realised upon moving into her home in Ballymun that there was a “diabolical” smell of sewerage coming from her front garden. She has been in regular contact with Dublin City Council over the years in an attempt to sort the issue, but to no avail.
