Residents of a building in Dublin city centre terrorised by rats have revealed their horrific living conditions.
Joanne Smith, 27, who lives on Cork Street, said she had to move out of her flat after it was marked as "unliveable" by Dublin City Council due to the mould and rat problem. The horrified mum-of-two told Dublin Live: "The rats were all outside my door.
"We had birds coming down and eating the rats." She added: "We had a dead rat on the table and one on the floor. The neighbour that lives at the very top, he’d come down and take care of the rats.
