A couple have revealed the stress they went through after losing their life savings at the hands of a cowboy builder.
Mary Ring O’Flynn and her husband have had to borrow more than €70,000 to try to repair the damage left behind by conman Simon Dominican Byrne at their property in Ranelagh, south Dublin.
After a two-month period Byrne left behind a leaking roof, live wires in the garden – which electrocuted a man. He also burst a gas main pipe at the front of the property among a litany of other issues.
