A woman with a life-limiting health condition says she and her family are living in freezing conditions because of delays in repairs to her council home after a suspected carbon monoxide leak.

Noreen O’Neill, from Mayfield in Cork, also said her son, Garry, 39, who has spina bifada, has been housebound for two months while awaiting for repairs to his wheelchair.
