Intruder Alarms

There many potential sources of noise to be found in an urban environment. Noise from traffic, sports events and construction activity etc is an inevitable consequence of urban living.  Some construction activity and roadworks (emergency and planned) are undertaken at night-time so as to reduce disruption to daytime traffic and utility service provision, particularly in the city centre area.

Limerick City Council does not  require noise control measures to be taken where the relevant source activity is deemed necessary unless it can be shown to be reasonably practicable to do so.

It is the responsibility of property owners and occupiers to ensure that

• Alarm systems are maintained serviceable and
• Appropriate response mechanisms are in place in the event of activation.
• Occupiers may advise local Gardaí of relevant contact details if they wish.

 

Local authorities are not empowered to:

• Enter any property to disable an activated intruder alarm
• Isolate any electrical supply to an activated intruder alarm
• Trespass and interfere with an electricity supply.

Local authorities do not maintain databases of keyholder contact details or security codes for alarm systems.
