70 rodent control visits to care centre

A pest control company called to Áras Attracta more than 70 times in the past three years, tackling infestations of rodents in residential bungalows, stores, and workshops at the care centre.

Two traps and seven bait boxes were placed in a single bungalow last November after mice were spotted at the HSE facility for intellectually disabled adults in Co Mayo.

The facility was the subject of an RTÉ Prime Time documentary in 2014.
