Noise nuisance legislation
Deputy Finian McGrath requests an update on legislation addressing serious noise nuisance and antisocial behaviour in apartment blocks. The Taoiseach has no publication date but says disruptive neighbours can be dealt with through existing measures.
I ask the Taoiseach for an update on the noise nuisance Bill, which is an issue that has emerged in many communities, particularly for families living in blocks of apartments as a result of the Celtic tiger who often have to deal with anti-social neighbours and major noise emanating from other apartments.

There is no date for its publication but if neighbours are being unduly unruly or causing social disruption, there is a way of dealing with that in terms of having them moved out.
