A pensioner was left trapped under piles of belongings and rubbish for 14 hours before being rescued by firefighters in Dublin.
The Irish Times reports the man, who is in his 70s, was taken to hospital with back injuries after being found stuck under mounds of hoarded items.
The DFB says hoarding is a health risk that needs treatment and management and has encouraged people to get help from their GP.
Sean Moynihan, CEO of Alone, says it's not as uncommon as people think.
