Sinn Féin local election candidate for the Newport Local Electoral Area Gavin Ryan has called on Tipperary County Council to establish a fund aimed at tackling issues related to dampness in the council housing stock.
Gavin said: “As I engage with the local people of Newport and the surrounding areas during my canvassing efforts, one pressing issue that continues to emerge is the pervasive problem of dampness within our communities.
“Today, I am urging Tipperary County Council to act by establishing a dedicated fund aimed at tackling this persistent issue within our housing stock. Such funds have been implemented in recent months in Waterford and Louth.
“Dampness is not merely a matter of inconvenience; it poses significant health risks to our residents. Research has unequivocally linked damp and mold to respiratory conditions such as asthma and COPD, highlighting the urgent need for council intervention.”
