'My baby had silverfish in his cot' - Dublin mum speaks out about conditions in Council flat

A Dublin mum has pleaded for South Dublin County Council to transfer her to new accommodation due to "dampness and mould" in her apartment.

Lisa Gibbons has lived in the two-bedroom apartment in Slade Castle in Saggart with her partner and their three children since 2015. Lisa said she "loved" the apartment when she moved in but issues with mould and dampness have gotten significantly worse since then.

She fears the dampness is causing long-term health issues for her 11-month-old son, who is "constantly in the doctors" due to breathing issues.
