Soccer club ordered to turn off floodlights after 10pm

Proposals by Listowel Celtic AFC to replace six existing floodlights with four floodlights were the subject of an objection by Johnny Joy, who lives close to the club’s grounds, 1km south-west of the town.

Mr Joy claimed the floodlights would seriously interfere with the privacy and amenity of his property and would also lead to noise and disturbance in late evening. Use of existing lights rarely ended at 10pm, he added.
