Question:467 Mr. Eamon Ryan asked the Minister for Transport his views on the problems that residents in the Lakelands Estate are experiencing as a result of the noise levels due to the development of the Luas light rail and other developments in the area; his further views on whether the RPA was correct in not carrying out an independent examination of the noise levels that are experienced as a result of the Luas construction works; if his attention has been drawn to the fact that independent noise analysis in the same area commissioned by private developers has shown that noise levels experienced by people in the area exceed World Health Organisation guidelines; and if he has the authority to instruct the RPA to carry out the desired independent noise analysis.
