I launched the Noise Mitigation Grant Scheme in July 2023 to support late night venue owners to take pro-active steps to implement noise mitigation measures to better control and reduce sound emissions from their premises, especially in those areas where it has the potential to impact on residents.

The scheme operated with a fund of €2 million. In accordance with the terms of the fund, the Department's assessment of applications was strictly by order of date and time of receipt, i.e. all applications were assessed for eligibility on a first come first served basis. There was one application from a venue in Co. Louth under this scheme, however in accordance with the terms and due to funds being fully allocated, the Department was not in a position to proceed with the Application.
