    Damp city flats stink of sewage

    Desperate residents whose homes are damp, mouldy and filled with the stench of raw sewage have accused council chiefs of breaching their human rights.

    According to a survey carried out by the Rialto Rights in Action Group, 45% of adults in Dolphin House, Rialto, Dublin have trouble breathing easily and blame the bad living conditions on residents having diarrhoea, skin rashes and depression.

    The group said exposure to the health risks is a blatant violation of residents' rights to adequate housing, as set out under UN law, and called on Dublin City Council and the Department of Environment to fund the regeneration of the flats.

    This reads great. If residents didn't have diarrhoea, the living conditions would be better. That's probably true.
