Pet Hates: Traffic noise irritates Irish people more than barking dogs

Just 19% of households experienced noise pollution from barking dogs, according to the CSO: Sam Boal / RollingNews.ie

Irish people hate noise from traffic more than barking dogs and rumpus from neighbouring houses, while four out of five homes use wheelie bins for non-recyclable and recyclable waste.

Those are just some of the findings from the Central Statistics Office (CSO) household environmental behaviours survey, released to coincide with the ongoing Cop26 global climate change summit in Glasgow.
