Noise

About Noise Control

In Ireland, the principal law relating to noise can be found here.

Local Authorities have powers to serve a notice on any person in charge of premises, processes or works, other than an activity which is licensable under IPC, when they consider that it is necessary to do so in order to prevent or limit noise.

A Local Authority, the EPA or any other affected person may complain to the District Court under Section 108(1) of the EPA Act, where any noise is so loud, so continuous, so repeated, of such duration or pitch or occurring at such times as to give reasonable cause or annoyance to a person in any premises in the neighbourhood, or to a person lawfully using any public place.
