Teens urged to boycott businesses over noise device

YOUNG people have been urged to boycott businesses that install new security devices to target their ability to hear high-pitched noises.

The National Youth Council of Ireland (NYCI) said the Mosquito youth-repellents discriminate against young people and should be fought under the Equal Status Act.

Its assistant director James Doorley made the call as Letterkenny Town Council in Donegal moved to become the first public body to install the high-pitched irritants in a public place.
