What can I do about Noisy neighbours?

Ive a friend who leased to the council for 10 years.

Both himself and the management company have been on to the council numerous times about the tenant they placed in the property.

All the council say is GDPR pfo. And thats it.

The Gardai wont do anything. They dont even answer anymore.

Then the management company turned on my friend with all sorts of threats of legal action, as if they werent already doing all they could in tandem with the management company. The solicitor told the management company where to get off and now my friend just ignores the management company. They should have kept him on their side but chose not to, so he has left the problem between them and the council now.

how? are they now protectors of the night?

What? Since when? I remember a few years ago living in an apartment in Rathmines right beside a few students who like to party most weeks. I never complained as it didn't bother me too much, I was at an age where Id be out socialising myself most weeks but the apartment below complained a few times and the guards did arrive. There was never any arrests made but the were warned to lower the music and one night there was a big enough crowd in the place so the guards just moved everyone on.

Threatening behavior is when they are outside making threats or fighting in the street. If you call to the door and they tell you to F Off that's not threatening behavior. It you call to the door too often you can be done for harassment.

You have antisocial neighbours not threatening neighbours.

so you remember an occurence therefore it's the law?

or am I missing somerthing?

I’ve called the guards about neighbours in the past. I do feel bad about bothering them but my understanding was that if you want to get an rtb judgement against your neighbours you need to have proof of each occasion they’ve disturbed you. Otherwise it becomes a he-said-she-said type situation. Is this not true?

I also know some people who were threatened with anti social behaviour orders by the community guard because their neighbour kept complaining about them making noise. The neighbour was a real old biddy who thought they were closing the doors too loudly etc.

This is like an episode of fear thy neighbour, many of those situations end in disaster, at least the majority of Irish aren’t armed.

Do tell :)

As has been pointed out many times in this thread. They can be called, but they cant do anything except ask nicely. And if refused, they have to leave with their high vis tails between their legs.

Sound recordings with time stamps would have had the same result without the need to waste Garda resources.
