Residents of flats say rights are violated

RESIDENTS of damp, mouldy and smelly flats in Rialto in Dublin plan to deliver evidence of their living conditions to Dublin City Council today.

Residents will bring contents of tin cans, samples of damp and faecal waste contained in sealed plastic bags, inhalers, medicines, prescription asthma masks for babies, and stories detailing their concerns to the meeting today.

Last May, unprecedented levels of damp, mould and sewage pushed the residents to declare that their human right to housing was being seriously violated.
