The family of a Dublin man who is battling cancer is pleading for help to fix rampant sewage issues at his home.
Pat Byrne explained that her brother Thomas, 67, has lost his tongue through cancer and he is this week having an urgent operation that could leave him highly susceptible to getting infections, especially if he returns to his flat at Pearse House in south inner city Dublin which has sewage and waste water outside his door.
Speaking to Dublin Live, Pat said: "It's as simple as fixing the drain pipe that comes down and Dublin City Council won't fix it. Thomas is back in hospital and he's so open to infection, he has no tongue from having cancer.
