The report highlighted the fact that a semi-detached house, which accommodated psychiatric patients, was in an unsatisfactory condition and needed immediate attention. The gardens were overgrown with weeds and several caravans were parked around the house. Fire alarms in the house were not in proper working order, there was no floor covering in one bedroom, the house was in a poor state of decorative repair, windows had not been painted for some time and glass was broken in doors and windows. One of the residents said the occupants of the house were constantly harassed and, although the Garda had been informed, the nuisance continued.
