NORTHSIDE residents were left literally picking up the pieces when a stream of raw sewage flooded through their new homes in Ballymun last week.
According to residents of Whiteacre Place, excrement, dirty nappies and sanitary towels floated through their streets, homes and gardens following last week’s torrential rain.
Lone parent Linda Darcy moved into her new ground floor apartment just six months ago. It was completed flooded out in the heavy downpour.
She claims the “council has a lot to answer for”.
“The rain was enough to have to deal with without the burst sewage pipe as well,” she told Northside People.
“I wouldn’t mind but that sewage pipe, which is on the road outside our houses, burst just four weeks ago.”
Linda’s home was one of the worst affected in the recent floods.
“Nearly everything was destroyed and the smell in my house was unbearable,” she said.
“I did everything I could to stop the water coming in but we hadn’t a hope.”
