Dublin locals have revealed the dreadful conditions in which they've been forced to live in their mould-riddled block of flats.
Mums from the School Street Flats told Dublin Live how their families have been struggling with physical and mental health issues since moving into the Dublin 8 accommodation. Sandra O'Reilly, 36, who has lived in the area all her life recounted a horror story after she swapped rooms with her kids due to the mould issues in theirs.
Pointing to an electric socket in the corner of the kids' room covered in black mould and damp, Sandra said: "That socket in their room went on fire because of the dampness. The damp got into it and it sparked."
