    Hi, I live in an estate and every Thursday morning a certain waste disposal company begin their collections at 6:20am which results in a lot of noise being generated.

    I've checked out these sites:http://www.citizensinformation.ie/categories/environment/environmental-protection/noise_regulations and http://eur-lex.europa.eu/LexUriServ/LexUriServ.do?uri=CELEX:32002L0049:EN:HTML and the eu site has this paragraph:

    - the start of the day (and consequently the start of the evening and the start of the night) shall be chosen by the Member State (that choice shall be the same for noise from all sources); the default values are 07.00 to 19.00, 19.00 to 23.00 and 23.00 to 07.00 local time

    Going by that, would I be correct to use this to back up a complaint to the waste disposal company so that they may begin their collections at 7am instead of 6:20am?

    That paragraph only means that 7am is the time if Ireland didn't decide on its own "morning" time in the implementing legislation.

    Your next task would then be to find out what piece of Irish legislation, if any, actually implements that Directive and see what, if any, times were picked by the government.
