Dubliners living in local authority housing on the city's southside are today publishing a report on how they believe their human rights are being violated by their living conditions.

Residents of Dolphin House said they have been experiencing problems with sewage backing up into their water systems, as well as with damp and mould for nearly 25 years.

Peter Dormon, who works with the Community Action Network co-ordinating the Rialto Rights in Action Group, said residents have been disappointed with Dublin City Council's response to date.
