Dublin couple take Luas to court over noise

A south Dublin couple whose home is close to Luas green line have claimed before the High Court that they have been exposed to a very serious and aggravating noise nuisance on daily basis since the light rail network went operational four years ago.

Paula and Vincent Smyth of Cambridge Terrace, Leeson Park, Dublin 6 have brought proceedings against the Railway Procurement Agency and Veolia Transport Ireland Ltd, who operate the Luas on behalf of the agency, over the noise nuisance to they claim is being caused by the light rail network's trams.
