I am assured by the Garda authorities that any complaints made to the Gardaí in relation to anti-social behaviour by a person's neighbours are fully investigated.

In this regard there is a range of strong legislative provisions available to an An Garda Síochána, including provisions under the Criminal Damage Act 1991, Criminal Justice (Public Order) Act 1994, the Criminal Justice (Public Order) Act 2003, and the Intoxicating Liquor Acts 2003 and 2008.

The Deputy will appreciate that issues relating to noise nuisance come within the remit of my colleague the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government. In this regard, I understand that the Minister is responding today to a Parliamentary Question from the Deputy with relevant information.
