Flood victim ‘living with death sentence’

JIM HEGARTY is a proud man and by his own admission a happy man but he’s living with a “death sentence”.

Last November’s devastating flood, which swamped his Carrigrohane home, has been blamed for the growth of deadly mould all over its walls.

The 58-year-old, who suffers from a respiratory condition, has been told by his GP that living thereposes serious, potentially life-threatening health risks.
