Seanad debates

Tuesday, 1 July 2003

Senator Mooney declared an interest and I am going to be parochial as well. The entire street where I live was kept awake last night by an alarm. We tried to contact the alarm company, who said they were not accepting responsibility. They said they only sell the box and can do nothing if the person involved does not bother to have a service contract. Could the Leader of the House ask the Department of the Environment, Heritage and Local Government about the regulations? This causes a great deal of nuisance. Sometimes, at this time of year, people go away and their alarms ring for a couple of days. It is intolerable. Legislation should be introduced to ensure that one cannot sell an alarm system that keeps going off unless a contract for servicing goes with it.
