Vol. 461 No. 2
88 Miss M. Wallace asked the Minister for the Environment if his attention has been drawn to the concerns of many people concerning the need to effectively deal with noise pollution; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [2670/96]
Powers have been provided in the Environmental Protection Agency Act, 1992 to address problems of noise pollution. Under section 108, a person may seek an order in the District Court to have noise abated. An information leaflet has been published by my Department on the procedures involved and is widely available. I have already stated my intention to make regulations under section 106 of the Act to deal with further aspects of noise pollution.
