MY CAMPAIGN AGAINST NOISE POLLUTION

Michael Mulcahy, both as a Dublin City Councillor, Lord Mayor, and now member of Dáil Éireann for Dublin South Central, has been a consistent and long term campaigner against noise.  Whether it’s a burglar alarm that keeps ringing, or dogs barking early in the morning or late at night, or machinery left running, the fact of the matter is, in built-up urban areas, noise pollution is a very serious form of pollution and is detrimental to your health.  Other examples of noise pollution include music being played too loud, builders on building works outside of the permitted hours, various utility companies doing their work at unsocial hours etc.

As part of the Programme for Government, the Government is committed to introducing a new Noise Nuisance Bill which has been prepared and approved by the Government in May 2009 and will be published shortly (certain legal issues need to be finalised).  It is hoped that this Noise Nuisance Bill will be published by the end of this year, and, if you would like to support Michael’s campaign against Noise Pollution, please contact him at 6183000 or by e-mail at michael.mulcahy@oireachtas.ie
