The plight of a disabled man living in a home infested with horrific damp and mould divided opinions among ECHO readers.
Gerard Francis, 41, said his damp, mouldy home was causing his severe depression and rheumatoid arthritis to spiral out of control.
The ECHO found horrific conditions inside his ground floor flat on Wellington Road, Dingle, with green mould surrounding in the doorway and further patches of damp and mould crawling up the walls of the bathroom to "a ceiling that was essentially falling down".
