We had to throw out clothes.

You had to throw everything basically that was in the press and buy on new stuff to put back to replace.

It's very hard to explain to a six-year-old not to walk on floors with no

with no shoes on or not to touch anything and it's very hard to explain after you touch something you have to wash your hands so we were just better off just removing her out while this was going on and still now we're still on tenderhooks so there's hand sanitizer everywhere now I know that everything is clean because I've washed the floor a dozen a hundred times everything is being bleached everything is being bleached down but once you have this fear

of something like that being in your house, every little movement out of the corner of your eye, what's that?

What's that?

What's that?

Your mind starts to play tricks on you.

I would be, I would, see, see, right, this is the thing.

Once they get a sense that you know, that they know, that you know, that they're there, they're very, they're extremely clever because they altered their rule.

Now, I was told by a professional that

before do you enter your house, do you know what your house is like, before do you enter it, like, like they're that clever, they're that clever, they're the name of an animal, and, it's just that, I just want them gone, out of the house, and just no one seems to be, listening, like, like Irish Water, is, saying that, well, if it's outside, it's the HSE, the HSE is saying something else, and, everything else is saying something else, so everything is just,

putting the blame on someone else to come out.

Now, one came out of the shore and outside and pulled down a field and Irish Water was contacted but they never came out, never done anything about it.

All the ministers were contacted around the area and just let's say they were all sympathetic or they were all passing the buck back to say, no, you have to get on to this place, you have to get on to there, you have to get on to the HSE, you have to get on to Irish Water.

They did respond but not one from the only one

The only one that was any way helpful at all was Sinn Féin, Mark Ward's office.

They were very, very good.

I got a phone call back from the secretary.

They got in touch with Irish Water and running for me.
