What time should parties end in a suburb?

RayM · 01-01-2016 06:23PM

I hate parties, but I don't care when they end, as long as they're reasonably quiet. I've never understood why people need to make so much noise when they're having meticulously organised fun.

A lot of the funny and clever answers here demonstrate how little Ireland has of a sense of the common good. I try to be a good neighbour, and treat my neighbours with consideration and kindness. Is this so unusual?

Agreed. Usually by 2am some d*ck has arrived or brought out a guitar to play. F*ck those guys. Ruin parties.

Common good? One could argue that, as you were greatly outnumbered in the instance of this particular party, then the greater good was whatever the party goers desired.

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.

Nah, house parties are great. Much better than da club. Get a good mix of people, some good choons and nobody bringing a guitar and yer laughin', Mary Kingston-style.

Have a guard living beside us. His children throw all night parties during the summer. Loads of shouting and roaring till around 6am. So annoying. 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

Can't ring the guards anyway pet, noise is not a Garda matter!
It's a civil complaint, guards can't make anyone turn the music down.
No doubt your Garda neighbour told his kids that!!

Thankfully we have old people either side of us.

Mention it to the parents. Theres a good chance they had no idea this was going on.

I asked them to go home at 2am. They were rude. There's no landlord. It's a privately owned house.

One could argue that, being outnumbered, I have no rights. It wouldn't be a strong argument, though, and suggests a worryingly weak understanding of the common good.

You must have been to some god awful house parties, that or you're a publican. My money's on the later as house parties are awesome. Much better than going to a dark hole which stinks of piss and vomit.

2am is a reasonable time, however, it may inconvenience some especially if they have to work the next day. On a school night parties should end 10pm or 11pm, but that's not going to happen.

Well, if you asked them with the same tone in which you attempted to put me down on my understanding of common good (which you should look up yourself btw) I'm not surprised the party kept going.

And worry not about my understanding of anything. You have much more important things to worry about, I'm sure.

What absolute utter bull****. It was clearly states on page 1 that noise complaints are nothing to do with the Gardai. regardless of someone being one or not, theres no powers for Gardai to stop parties based on noise.

He should have broke into their car and stood on the horn, then it would be a Garda matter.:p

Im pretty sure the OP is trying to be funny with an ironic complaint type thread.

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!

Ok you've changed my mind. Your actually just trolling.

Wabbit Ears · 01-01-2016 08:38PM

10 Pm on a schoolnight.
Whenever on a weekend, keep it down after say 1 or 2 AM.
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.

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.

Last night, some of my neighbours started roaring, counting backwards. I mean WTF?

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?)

Its all very simple really. It has most likely been explained already. Wait for them to head to bed and then let rip with noise. Don't forget that a year is a long time. Pick your moments to create havoc. I have been here before. Revenge is sweet and justified. I have witnessed the most respectable of folk cause untold mayhem during the christmas period and Summer (don't forget the barbeques) and then have the ****ing cheek to give me **** when I play some music on a saturday night after a 15 hour day.

House parties are so much better than a night on the town. For one thing you there's no closing time and you can choose the music too.

LordSutch · 01-01-2016 11:29PM

If you are talking about a semi-detached house, then you have to consider the neighbours and their work in the morning (maybe they have kids too)?

...so taking that into account > 10pm monday to Thursday nights, 12 Midnight on a Friday or saturday night.
