You can't ring the local guards about it, because he is one of them. It's actually annoying because the family are rich, and should be able to hire out a hotel room or a pub function room to host their party. Instead they'd rather inflict it on a suburban estate which contains mostly older people

Lighten up. Yes, it's annoying and personally I'd have been upset too and would have had a word with them if the noise was so bad. Perhaps I would have called the Guards - never happened me so I don't know. But it was a one off, wasn't it? If not, then contact landlord/Gardai about recurring nuisance.

Qualitymark wrote: » You're wrong. I have the belief, apparently not common in Ireland, that neighbours owe each other consideration. If people want to bring in the New Year, they should party till midnight and count the old year out and the new in. Then if they want to screech and sing and drink, they should go out and find the crowds of like-minded people doing the same in pubs or on the streets. The reaction here is rather like the reaction a few years ago when people were first required to wear seat belts in cars. The howls of outrage!

New years eve? party all night long, through the next day and the next night if folk are willing and they've stocked up on the happy pills n' powders. Live and let live. If you want quiet buy a house in the countryside.

Qualitymark wrote: » Happy pills and powders? Illegal drugs? And no; if you want quiet, you should be able to have it in the suburbs. Live and let live, don't abuse your neighbours with noise.
Qualitymark wrote: » What time do people consider a party should end in a semi-detached house in the suburbs? My neighbour's daughter and her unpleasant friends continued their party till 6am. They like the Eagles a lot, and like to sing along. (Is there a law on this, as there is in some European countries?)
