8 November 2006	Environment	Updating Noise Legislation

Ciarán Cuffe asked the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government his plans to modernise the legislation regarding noise pollution; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government (Mr. Roche): Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government (Mr. Roche): I refer to the replies to Questions No. 106 of 13 June 2006 and No. 225 of 4 October 2006, which set out the range of legislation on noise pollution already in place. Given these extensive controls on noise pollution from various sources, it is not proposed to introduce further legislation in this area.
