Any laws regarding car alarms in ireland?

theres been a car alarm going off all night.Not the first time eitherit happens a lot where i live and they go on for hours and hours (dont know if its the same car)Is there anything that can be done or anywhere you can go to complain, cos im so sick of it??

Answer:

No, although the Green Party are trying to introduce new Garda powers that will allow them to deal with nuisances such as car and house alarms. At present, all you can do is try to track down the owner of the car yourself, let them know their alarm is causing a nuisance and try to solve the problem amicably. If they do not comply and repeatedly allow their alarm to go off all day, you can bring a case against them in the District Court. The following 2 links outline the regulations and procedures involved: www.citizensinformation.ie/catego. www.environ.ie/en/Environment/Noi. There may be a residents' committee in your area who can address the problem on your behalf - your local phone directory or an internet search should provide their contact details.
