Ita Madden’s High Court application over alleged noise nuisance from a neighbouring factory was adjourned on 11 July 2023, after the defendants said they were working to address her concerns.

Madden, whose property borders Xtrupak Limited’s facility in Loch Gowna, Co Cavan, seeks to stop commercial activity there until noise related works and modifications are completed. She claims the plant’s noise exceeds planning permission conditions and has affected her family’s health.

The defendants offered to provide accommodation while noise alleviation works were carried out, which counsel said would take several weeks. Madden asked for time to consider the proposals and seek a solicitor; the judge adjourned the matter to a later date that month and encouraged both sides to continue discussions.
