Is there no law against using a pneumatic drill at 1:30am?

They are drilling away at Sutton Dart station at 1:30am and it's just ridiculous. I was sure there would be a law against it with people needing to sleep. I rang clontarf gardai (since Howth garda station is closed) and the gard who answered the phone couldn't have cared less. He said ring the dept of environment. I nearly blew a fuse. Ring the dept of the environment at 1:30am? This place is a joke.

Put your cape on and scoot on over and wiggle your finger at them.

The works will have been authorised. Can hardly work on / around tracks and stations during the day when the DART is active, can they.

That's rough alright. Sorry for your hassle. I assume the Gardai can't do anything going by that Garda's response, but he could have explained it/presented it in a more compassionate way.

The citizensinformtion site has more info.

Wait till the excavators move in to remove the rubble and dump it into the back of the lorries Nothing like the scraping and banging from that in the middle of the night.

Seriously though, get a grip.

Live 100m from Bray Dart Station and similar work went on till about 5am last year. Twas annoying until I put my earbud headphones in and went back to sleep. (As good as earplugs but self removing while asleep to I hear the alarm in the morning)

Not once did I think it was a disgrace. What I did think to myself was, "Well this for a few nights once or twice a decade is the price I pay for being 30 seconds walk from the best public transport link in the country 24/7/365/25.
