Council is criticised as tenant dies of cold - National News, Frontpage - Independent.ie

DUBLIN City Council was yesterday accused of contributing to the death of a young mother, after the heating in her flat was allegedly disconnected in the depths of winter.

A preliminary hearing at Dublin City Corner's Court into the death of Rachel Peavoy (30) was told that the young woman died from hypothermia and that continued appeals to turn back on her central heating fell on deaf ears.
