‹ Order of Business Noise nuisance Bill
Summary
Peter Fitzpatrick asks when legislation strengthening enforcement powers over noise nuisance will be published; the Taoiseach has no date but will provide an update.
One can initiate action when noise reaches a level at which it causes annoyance. We need to extend and improve the power available to the enforcement authorities to prevent, reduce or abate noise emissions by allowing for fixed payment notices and providing for mediation between neighbours. In that context, when can we expect the noise nuisance Bill to be published?
