We have all received complaints regarding unruly and noisy residents and the lack of power the Garda and other enforcement agencies have to tackle this. The noise nuisance Bill that is due to be published should allow for fines and mediation between neighbours. It is embarrassing that the gardaí are obliged to call to these houses and use peer pressure to get people to turn down the noise. When will this Bill be brought forward? It is extremely important.

Also, will the Taxi Regulation Bill be back before the House before the summer recess?
