Five-month-old baby has 20 year smoker's cough resident says, down to mould in Council housing

A five-month-old baby has the cough of a smoker of 20 years "due to horrific mould" in a Council flat in Dublin city centre.

The baby's grandmother, Nicola O'Connor, has been sending complaints to Dublin City Council since the mould in her two bedroom apartment exploded. Seven people across three generations are living in the flat in Saint Andrews Court in the city centre.

And all of them have been on antibiotics to combat illnesses they contracted they say as a result of the damp conditions. Sinn Fein TD Chris Andrews called on the Government to address the issue before someone dies like the young child that died in the UK due to mould.
