Family claim they can no longer reside at a property in Carrick-on-Shannon as their health has been adversely affected due to dampness and mould
Thomas and Louise Stokes, along with their five young children, had sued the council claiming they can no longer reside at a property provided for them by the local authority in Mount Temple, Carrick on Shannon, Co Leitrim. When the matter returned before Mr Justice Rory Mulcahy during Tuesday’s vacation sitting of the High Court, counsel for Leitrim County Council Christopher Hughes, defending, said his client had sourced emergency accommodation for the family, which will be available to them in coming days.
In reply Ms Egan for the family said while they welcomed the provision of emergency accommodation, the family needed more information about the suitability of the new property being offered to them before they can accept the transfer.Mr Justice Mulcahy agreed to adjourn the matter to a date in early September.
