Dublin Neighbor Loses Second Court Battle Over Noise from Popular Gay Bar
A Dublin resident living above Street 66 bar lost his second legal attempt to remove music licenses due to loud tunes causing sleepless nights. The court ruled in favor of the bar, citing the area's entertainment character. Despite efforts to reduce noise, the neighbor remains unsatisfied.
A neighbour of Street 66, a popular gay bar in Dublin, has lost his second court action attempting to revoke its music, singing, and dancing licenses. Tommy Bergin, who lives above the bar, complained about the loud music keeping him awake at night. However, Judge Máire Conneely dismissed the action citing the location and character of the area known for entertainment.
Bergin claimed that the noise levels from the bar's music, especially on Fridays and Saturdays, caused him sleepless nights. Despite previous orders to reduce music volume, Bergin insisted that the problem persisted. The court was informed of measures taken by the bar to address the noise issue.
The judge ruled that the evidence presented did not conclusively support Bergin's claims. She highlighted the lack of specific standards for noise levels between domestic and commercial premises. The court found that the bar had been compliant with building regulations.
Ultimately, the court dismissed Bergin's action, emphasizing the need for clearer standards in such disputes. The bar owner expressed willingness to address the concerns raised by the neighbour.
