A single mum who has been living in a "nightmare of a flat" with her seven-year-old son on the northside of Cork city for three years has told of their daily struggles.
Alina Marinescu, 35, told CorkBeo she was "distraught" and unable to sleep as she talked about the deluge of foul water flooding into her home as the ceiling of her bathroom collapsed.
She said: ""I have twins on the way, they are due next month, my bathroom ceiling collapsed last night and now we have to use the garden to go toilet."
