James Bannon (Longford-Westmeath, Fine Gael)

With the Taoiseach and this Government very much in the departure lounge from which there is no return, I ask the Taoiseach if he will bring forward the noise nuisance Bill before the budget or before the end of this year. A serious problem exists with alarm bells and barking dogs causing great public nuisance and the local authorities are unable to deal with this issue because legislation is not in place.
