Control of Noise and Air Pollution
The Environmental Protection Agency (Noise) Regulations 1994, enable any person to make a complaint to the District Court regarding noise pollution, ie. noise which gives reasonable cause for annoyance. Complaints may also be made by the Environmental Protection Agency or by the local authority. Explanatory leaflets and copies of notices to be served prior to making a complaint to the Court, can be obtained from the Environment Section.
In accordance with the Air Pollution Act 1987, local authorities are obliged to take such measures as they consider necessary to prevent or limit air pollution in their area and licences must be obtained from the local authority for the operation of certain industrial plants. The Council has not issued any such licence to date.
