am delighted for you OP. being sharing houses for years now and can honestly say, i've come across some right gobsh!tes in my time. be they housemates or neighbours. needless to say i'm sure they view me in the highest regard
but i've always lived by the rule that if i can behave rationally and not annoy intensively then so can they. you would be surprised by the amount of times i've been surprised. 0 -

This is what seriously p!sses me off about Ireland sometimes. The guy goes on a rampage, attempts to break into a couple of houses armed with a baseball bat, threatens people and when the police eventually show up they tell him to go home.
If that was pretty much any other country, he would be handcuffed, taken to the station to sober up and taken before a judge before they let him out. he might actually learn something from it, at the very least he will be contained for the night instead of being given permission to continue drinking.
In America, you'd be legally entitled to shoot him.

Many gardee are powerless against non nationals and certain indigenous ethnic groups. It's a garlic/vampire type scenario 0 -

Most of my reply will be irrelevant after reading the whole thread and itrs over but for anyone else
I would call the gardai, but not too much, its not right but you dont want to piss them off, need them onside.
Definitely contact the landlord, call at the time you are being disturbed and tell them you will call everytime there is a party, also find out in advance if it is PRTB reg'd by checking online, tell the landlord it is their obligation to comply with regulations re anti social behaviour, if they dont stop you will report, if reg'd they can be thrown out, if not better still the landlord wont want to be found out (its possible if reg'd or not, they may not know about it and probably be unhappy about it) so might be even under a greater incentive to do something about it. If the landlord doesnt give a fook and not reg'd report him to revenue also, if he's ok I'd leave him be, for the time.Its so easy i had this same problem and i myself have been the problem.The only and best way i have ever come across to stop this is to wait for nights when your not there or gone away for a night or two and turn the speakers of your sound system against the offending wall and put on some ****ty scratched cd full blast and leave .Eye for an eye.
perhaps barry manilow? or liberace, or maybe they are so out of it they might not care, notice or even like it :eek:

Its mac the knife but on repeat I can see it driving someone mad.
Then I'd definitely move onto white noise or that mosquito sound, until they go gaga.Nail on the head.
Also helps not to get blackout drunk.
Did it once, unnerving experience, more what I drank and not how much, wouldnt wanna do it again, not that I drink these days really.Tipsy McSwagger wrote: »Fcuking delighted you are finally going to have some peace and quiet OP. I had the same issue a couple years ago with the cnuts above me. I got them evicted and then I got the next crowd evicted. Have a family above me now and they are grand. I can remember lying in bed wide awake thinking I would love to pour petrol into the letterbox and burn them all to hell. A good nights sleep is one of the most unappreciated things in life.
That might not work, given you lived below them
:pac:
Glad to hear its sorted, had noisy tenant neighbours, initially landlord tried to say i was a complainer, few calls to the landlord at 2 am seemed to sort it, although there was a backlash after the first call, at the second I told him prtb,court,2-4am phone calls.
Tenants came apologising, I think it gave them an excuse to keep the noisy visitors from turning up to be honest.0 -

OP, glad to hear thing are sorted out.
I am curious about a couple of things though -
1, How often did you have to call the Gardaí ?
2, How often did they respond ?
3, Did they ever arrest or threaten to take your disruptive neighbour in ?
Cheers for the replies guys, as someone said there a good nights sleep is essential. I'm a bit of a cranky cnut if I don't get at least 7hrs uninterrupted sleep.
In the time he was living next door, I called the Gardai 3 times on him. In fairness they responded every time and were extremely helpful. They never threatened to arrest 'Sean', I don't think they could as noise complaints are viewed as a civil matter. That said had they witnessed his drunken rage I'd say he'd have been detained alright but without that first hand experience of it, it was simply my word against his. TBH I got the impression the Gardai would have loved to have arrested him but their hands are tied in that regard. One of the Gardai was on all 3 of the callouts so had prior experience of the situation. I thought they were really helpful and must have made a call to the landlord to say he kicked him out of the house or maybe that's just wishful thinking on my part! Anyways I'm happy to report many months of quiet nights 0 -

I'd have a problem with that. A breach of the peace is a breach of the peace.
In most other countries, your neighbour would be hauled in for the remainder of the night and probably released again in the morning with a caution for a first offence.
A second offence would probably result in a speedy court appearance with a fine handed out.
A third offence would result in another visit to court and this time the book would be thrown at the offender.
Here in Ireland the Gardaí will spout búllshít about civil issues.
And that is why your neighbour was able to go apeshít and keep you up all night.
And that is why crime in this country is going out of control.0
