A woman, Anna Marie Flanagan, lost an appeal against a court order allowing Mayo County Council to temporarily access her apartment to remove thousands of plastic waste items. The ruling by Judge Eoin Garavan came after evidence of her poor living conditions was presented. Flanagan, who has been living in emergency accommodations for homeless persons since 2018, insists she is not a hoarder. The decision was made to mitigate health and safety risks posed by the accumulation of waste in her living space.
During the hearing, evidence was presented regarding Anna Marie Flanagan's living conditions, highlighting the extent of plastic waste accumulating in her apartment.
Judge Eoin Garavan, while upholding the ruling from district court, stated that the temporary access was granted to mitigate health and safety concerns.
Anna Marie Flanagan denied being a "hoarder," but the extensive plastic waste on her property raised significant concerns about livability and public health.
Mayo County Council's intervention aims to address the problematic accumulation of waste in Flanagan's apartment, reflecting broader issues of housing and environmental management.
