At P.A Duffy & Co Solicitors, we represent people in asbestos claims cases in Ireland.

Asbestos was once a very common means of insulation. Recently, however, it has become clear that being exposed to asbestos carries numerous physical risks, particularly to our lungs. This particular risk associated with asbestos exposure pertains to the possibility that asbestos fibres may be released into the air and inhaled.

Ireland did not have any asbestos regulations until early in the 1970s. However, due to growing research, it is now categorised as a dangerous substance and no longer used.

Asbestos exposure can cause several diseases, including:

• Asbestosis: A lung condition that results from long-term exposure to asbestos fibres.

• Mesothelioma: A rare and aggressive cancer that affects the lining of the lungs, abdomen, or other organs.

• Lung Cancer: Asbestos exposure is a known risk factor for lung cancer.

• Pleural Plaques: This is caused as a result of inhaling asbestos fibres and effectively it causes scarring to the lungs and typically arises 20-30 years after exposure.

• Other Respiratory Conditions: Exposure to asbestos can also cause various other lung and respiratory issues.
