Dolphin’s Barn in human rights move

RESIDENTS in Dublin’s Dolphins Barn, who claim they are living with health-threatening damp, mould and sewage, are to have their case heard before an unprecedented human rights commission panel.

The evidence will be given next Tuesday before a panel of experts by a residents’ group living in local authority housing. It is the first time such a hearing has taken place in this country.

Dolphin House is Dublin’s second largest remaining public housing flat complex, covering an 18.5-acre site with 436 units.
