    I went over to ask what time they intended ending the music. they ignored me. The dj was singing and I interrupted him, which he did not like but when you are trying to get a kip and experiencing mayhem in your own house you do not care.
    the guards eventually arrived cos I rang them three times in the space of half an hour and had a word with them. that is the best they can do. some of the guests started to leave when they arrived and they have since quitened down a bit.

    -some people have to get up at 6 - even on Sunday! Can you imagine that?

    If your unhappy with your working hours I suggest you get a new job.

    Gardaí CAN act under the relatively new 'ASBO' legislation.

    No it's not reserved for teenagers! Can be used on anyone! Make a note in a diary of what time you called to them and what was said etc. If it happens again you can speak to the COMMUNITY Garda for your area and he/she will know about the ASBO legislation. Google the ASBO legislation for your own knowledge-you'll find info on citizens advice website.

    I thought there was an 11pm curfew on unnecessary noise, like loud music, etc?

    firstly the music is ****e so why should I be subjected to it in my own house with all door and windows closed?
    I was trying to watch the box in peace.


    legally speaking it seems you can play your music as loud as you want, whenever you and there is no law against that. something amiss there.

    Frank Sinatra is not ***e music.

    it may come as a surprise but not everyone works 9-5 and only mon to friday.

    if it were teenagers or students making the noise it would be one thing, but its folks who at their age should know better.

    Climb the back wall, stand on it, zip down your zipper, pull out your lad & do what comes naturally...

    sounds good in theory, but I have to live here and that would probably get me prosecuted.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 948 ✭✭✭Muir


    Funnily enough the people behind me are having a party too

    most parties are indoors. the noise does not carry as much and the speakers are not as powerful.

    Well it would get the guards to respond faster, or a few auld wans would drag you off the wall & do...things...
    It's a risk you need to take.

    You have to complain to you local council of noise complaints as it's not a Garda matter.

    As for the party, Gardai can only pop out and have a chat with them but cant really do anything if it's on their own property.

    No, that dosen't come as a suprise at all. If people are unhappy with the working hours there stuck with maybe they should have studied a bit harder in school.

    My neighbours behind me are always having parties and I always want to go! I was thinking if it looks kinda big I just kinda slip in and if anyone asks I say I know Mike.

    I've thought this through a lot.

    You're female, no one will question why you are there.

    If this is a relatively rare party that OP is giving out about then they are the kind of person that would make me not want to live in an estate. People celebrate stuff from time to time, live and let live.

    Wonder why OP wasn't invited? :pac:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,371 ✭✭✭Fuinseog


    Noise regs don't state times-so noise can be noise no matter what the time of day or night. It's the duration of the noise that can constitute a noise or even a once-off very loud noise can be deemed to be in breach of the noise regs. If it intereferes with someone's peace and enjoyment of their own home then yes, they have a case.
    The Gardaí now have a lot of powers under the ASBO legislation to deal with issues like this.

    I have the impression you have to tell the guards which laws are being broken and what they need to do, before they act. they were hesitant about going in and approached the offenders almost apologetically. the pair looked as if they were hardly out of college.

    It might even be worse.

    Old people, listening to Frank Sinatra:

    It might be the real Mafia.

    The op's old people are cooler than my old people in their choice of music.
    My old people love wee Daniel & the like.
    You could listen to Sinatra & enjoy it.

    I agree, but they also have the right to have a celebration!
    It is a Saturday night in June
    It is not so very late
    They have obviously only a few more years to celebrate so let them have at it;)









    Are you Victor Meldrew???????????:P
