Front garden swamped with sewerage for one year

A young family living in Our Lady’s Island have been forced to live with raw sewerage flooding in their garden for the past year, according to a local election candidate. Jim Codd of Aontu said he was shocked that the County Council had not fixed this issue despite promises having been made.

“The Dunne family in Loch Tochair View in the Lady’s Island are living in a house where potentially lethal raw sewerage has been flooding their front garden at irregular intervals for the last year,” Mr Codd said. “Despite several reassurances this issue has not been fixed.”

“This family has a young child with autism and ADHD. In an effort to tackle this, the family have built a sensory garden at the front of their house. This garden has been flooded with sewerage five times in the past year.”

“Mr Dunne is also legally blind, making this situation even worse. I’m appealing to Wexford County Council to deal with this issue immediately. It’s morally irreprehensible to leave a family suffering in a situation like this.”
