City council urged to move family from run-down and rat-infested section of estate
2004
Overview
Ms Caroline Power, who has lived at her home in O'Malley Park, Southill, for the past 16 years, is one of only two remaining tenants still living on her road. Some 24 neighbouring families have moved out of the area in recent years depriving the neighbourhood of any sense of community or heart and soul. A community activist, Mr Noel Hannan, has criticised the council's housing department for failing to rehouse the Powers. \"It's an absolute disgrace that people should have to live in these conditions in 2004. I am calling on Limerick City Council to demolish all the derelict houses in this part of O'Malley Park and to rehouse the two remaining families in homes of their choice,\" said Mr Hannan. \"Caroline Power has been listed for transfer and we are currently looking for alternative housing arrangements within the O'Malley Park area,\" the official said.
