Social housing residents have been dealing with a rat infestation which has become so unbearable they can't even open windows during the humid summer months, it has been claimed.
Residents from Emmet Buildings on Watling Street, Dublin 8 have said that the rats are "everywhere" - in the flats, on balconies, on top of the shelves, in the children's playground and football pitch. There are even rodents coming into the building when they open the main door. The pests were first spotted in October and it has become steadily worse since then.
Jane, not her real name, is one of the people living there and she worries for the health of the children and elderly people living in the building. She told Dublin Live: “Last three weeks there's been some [rats] in the playground where the kids play in the football pitch.
