+1.

Get yourself a Daniel O'Donnell CD,crank up the volume,put on repeat and head out for the day.

Alternatively,Get yourself a set of bag pipes and start practicing for the day.

The parents have brought up brats that behave like this, so I wouldn't be hoping for much there. They didn't lick their disdain for their neighbours off the stones.

Broken glass, call the guards - 'it came from next door and they are away, maybe someone is breaking in'.

Go to the party!
Dress in your frumpiest clothes and call over, full of smiles and polite chit-chat. Ask for cups of tea. If you can talk a few of your least party-orientated neighbours into joining you, so much the better. You'll drive the coolness out of that party-gaff so quickly they'll all be writing letters to Arthur from Mailbag before they know what's hit them.
Seriously though, this is what I'd do.

lie to them and say that the glass had hit the dog and you had it in the vets all day. you had to take time off work because of being kept awake and that you have lost money from it.

tell them, if they have another party, that you will be coming into the house to collect any "lost earnings" and "money to pay for the vets bill" when their parents return.

They wont cop that you're lying, and it will DEFINITELY do the trick.

there wont be any parties if you do that.

Got a video camera? Record examples what's going on and then have a word with the parents when they get back, does the house any neighbours apart from you? Maybe be worth knocking a few doors if the parents refuse to take any complaint seriously. Or ask the community Guard to have a word.

Why are irish people so afraid of speaking up/approaching people??

I see these threads pop up again and again, you don't have to be mean about it, you have every right to let them know that's not ok! I would be straight over to them tbh. They might cop on a bit

I'm not exactly one to be walked all over, but in all honesty, they might not even realise they're being idiots. They are teenagers after all.

How about calling over to them, being sound about it, saying "listen lads, I know ye are just enjoying yourselves but there's glass in my garden and you were fairly loud last night. Can you please sort the glass, and remember your neighbours when you're being loud".

Most normal decent teens would just say "ah feck, yeh sorry", and be more well behaved next time.

If they're still being dicks, then take it further.

You'd swear some people on here were never young and got up to a bit of mischief.

Call over to them, ask them to calm it down a bit. If you are met with resistance or backchat, then threaten telling the parents or the guards.

I second the above by Whoopsie and Degag.

Lets be honest, money is on that they will be little dicks about it. But give them the chance. Also, it's the easy way to sort things out. If they don't... call the guards. You don't mind someone having the odd late night party. Sure you need fun in your life. But not reuglarly.

I don't think I've ever heard a more middle class threat.

Pull the esb fuse ( location in external meter cabinet ) on them the next night they are partying, that will quieten them. Throw a shot of broken glass back into their garden see if they like it. Play them at their game.
