Call to the Landlord's home at night, every night that you are being bothered. An eye for an eye and all that. You get annoyed and landlord is annoyed by you. He'll soon take action.

Actually you should follow up your call with A LETTER .to council
Call them after each incident--follow up with letter to both Council and landlord
Keep a copy of all letters and a log of your phone calls to Council and Landlord
The council may give u his mobile
Also keep a note of all incidents
It is a bit of a pain but if u persist the Council must act
Decent folk have rights too

Thank you everybody for the advice I rang the council today several times and was passed from pillar to post left a few messages hopefully somebody will ring m back I keep trying the landlord so does my neighbour but he wont answer. the mother of this family was out at the gate all day in her pajamas smokin cigarate after cigarate as if she owned the place I counted 20 different teenagers coming and going into the house during my lunch hour today one arrived on a horse with a small cart scary stuff hopefully it can be sorted out soon.

I'd suggest that you keep a diary of events i.e. if you are woken at 3am, write it down/note it. Log every incident and present this to council/landlord at each and every opportunity.

yes I will do this thanks

I lived in Raheen my entire life and my parents still live there, (Homeowners.) Every time I come back home I'm SHOCKED at the way the neighbourhood has gone. In our estate alone two families have moved in and they are desperate.

Within weeks of them moving in our home was robbed, (jumping to conclusions I know but still,) graffitti has appeared in our estate (and not cool banksy-type graffitti,) and the amount of rubbish around is digusting. After Christmas there was a child's buggy, cardboard boxes and a cot just left at the end of the estate.

What's more is that they are really, really intimidating. My younger brother is only 14 and the young lads shout at him and stuff.

It's really really disheartening to see the place look so run down and crappy. But one feels like they can't do anything against these kind of people.

I agree Lambseye I am dreading this weekend they are realy intimaditing to say the least I am afraid to go out now incase the house gets robbed. my old bike went missing from the side of the house a couple of weeks ago thought someone took it for scrap but one of the kids was cycling it around today with no tyers now its just thrown in the green in front of our house.

In your communications with Council do not refer to the ethnic background of your new neighbours as you could b accused of being racist,
That would hurt your case


Example --This Chinese guy arrived on a horse --This American Guy--Jewish guy , This traveler guy etc--

I wish u well

Why does that matter.

My advice would be to call the Guards as often as possible, the more complaints logged against this family, the sooner you get action...

You need the help of your neighbours in tackling the issue. Not just the one letter but many individual letters, especially registered and keep each copy for any future legal action that you and your neighbours should take.

Also Call and write to social services in the HSE as well, as the kids are unsupervised late at night causing anti social behaviour. Report all incidents with written as well as photo's video evidence to the Gardai/Council/HSE/Councillors/TD's/Goverment departments of Health, Family services & Justice and call them especially at night and let them hear the noise.
Call the Gardai with each one of your neighbours calling them at the same time. The more you and your neighbours complain To the Gardai on every incident of harassment and destruction of property that that family is responsible for the sooner they have to act. And most importantly get a written report from the Gardai station as this is a record of incidents for any future court case. If the Council is responsible for the family that cause property damage, get your solicitors involved and sue the state groups that put the family there for Damage, Harassment and any health issue due to stress. If the Problematic Family are keeping you up at night and missing work because of it then sue to that too for any loss of income. This family would have a history of anti social behaviour and the Solicitor should be able to get this and together with your neighbours sue the state agency involved.

Also Call your local councillors and TD's (Make it an Election issue). If kids are into anti social behaviour causing damage including late at night then, the State should be taking action against the Parents. Leave Phone message with them too as they are responsible for finance and legislations and lack of the various state Agencies for the family for been there. Follow up with Written letters to your councillors and TD's and to the New candidates, do this with your neighbours. If kids are not supervised then the kids could be targeted for abuse by others or even kidnapped, and we will have another Madeline McCann at our very own doorstep.

All Late Noise complaints must be made by phone and written letter (registered) by Two or more neighbours of all incidents to the Council and the Gardai. The Council can prosecute the family for Noise complaints and the Gardai can fine them.

There is no point of owning a home when you been harassed by people who the state or state Agencies have taken responsibility for devaluing the Area and your home to pittens never mind half price drop due the the recession and degrading your and your family health with constant abuse and harassment.

cant offer any more advice than has been offered already - only my condolences

I'm amazed the destruction of once settled areas hasn't become a huge election issue around Limerick
