Sinn Féin: Jail slum landlords who are putting lives at risk

“Slum landlords” who put people’s lives at risk by advertising unsafe black-market properties should be immediately jailed.

Sinn Féin demanded tougher action as Dublin City Council admitted that regulations more than 50 years old were not working to tackle overcrowding.

The local authority also apologised for failing to open emails warning of “fire trap” homes.
