Local residents in Dublin 4 are complaining of a massive infestation of flies in the last few days.
Those in Sandymount, Ringsend and Irishtown suburbs in particular have claimed that the amount of flies that has descended upon them is so severe that several businesses have been forced to shut down, while those at home have had to keep their windows closed even in the recent high temperatures.

Meanwhile, a spokesman for the local council have stated that they have had conducted some early investigations into the issue but so far could not link the problem to any particular activity, and stated that it may simply be down to the current weather conditions.
