    Ok heres the deal.

    Farmer behind my house and other houses has since last summer decided to hold all night music events.
    When I say music, its rave music.
    It started at 16:15 Friday evening and finished at 08:30am Saturday morning, this was repeated again Saturday night until Sunday morning.
    The noise is so loud, people a number of kilometres away were annoyed at the noise so suffice to say our walls were shaking.
    He tries to get away with these by saying theyre “Charity” events and the organisers take “Donations” online.

    Now, I spoke to the local authority and they can do sweet nothing because legally 5 charity events can be held in a 12 month period without it contravening his planning permissions and the local authority haven’t the equipment to measure the sound coming from these events themselves.
    They have advised me to talk to the EPA which I will be doing on Monday.

    Has anyone any experience dealing with the EPA, do any of ye think they may be able to do anything in yere experience ?

    I can also go down the district court route under a section 108 and if so do ye think the judge would have to consider both my and the a number of other neighbours seriously or will the mention of charity again go against us do ye think ?
    Charity or no charity surely they have to take everyone around their event into consideration aswell.

    As a side note, I have a number of other neighbours backing me on this as well as evidence that a home for intellectually disabled that is adjacent to this farm had to take out all of their residents due to the noise of last years event.

    Any thoughts appreciated
