Nurse awarded €2,000 over ‘excessive noise’

JACK WHITE

A nurse who complained she had not had a lie-in for 18 months due to “excessive sound” emanating from the apartment above hers has been awarded €2,000 in damages by a Residential Tenancies Board tribunal.

Orla Mohan lodged a dispute against landlord Cristian Chirilov, claiming he had not come to any compromise regarding the alleged noise from his tenant, who lives directly above her in Baldoyle, Dublin 13, with an 18-month-old baby.

Ms Mohan, who provided several videos of the “unreasonable noise pollution” to the tribunal, claimed the noise could be heard from 6am and occurs “at all times” throughout the day, sometimes until midnight.

She described the sound as “heavy objects being repeatedly dropped or dragged on the floor” and furniture “scraping on the floor”. This, she claimed, was accompanied by “pounding footsteps day and night”.

‘Proper night’s sleep’

While saying she understood “children need to play”, Ms Mohan told the tribunal she had not had a lie-in since the tenant moved in 18 months previously, nor had she had a “proper night’s sleep”.

Telling the tribunal she is a public health nurse, she claimed she had also been at a “financial loss” as she could not work night shifts without being able to sleep during the day.

While accepting there was a level of noise she must accept in apartment living, she said the noise “goes far beyond what is reasonable”.

The tribunal found there was a “distinct lack of response” from Mr Chirilov to Ms Mohan’s complaints and he did “nothing to ameliorate the situation” aside from talking to the tenant.

It said the “lack of any meaningful response” had prolonged the “difficult situation” Ms Mohan had been “forced to live with” and ordered Mr Chirilov to pay her €2,000 in damages within 21 days.

what in the ???

this place is fucked

That’ll have cost her money if I’m not mistaken but someone in the industry might confirm.

The operator of a Subway and Circle K on Dublin’s Grafton Street has been ordered to pay €500 compensation to blind Paralympian, Nadine Lattimore.

It is the fifth ‘discrimination’ payout that Ms Lattimore has received across 2025 and 2024 concerning cases she has taken to the Workplace Relations Commission (WRC) under the Equal Status Act, and she has now received a cumulative €20,500.

Last month, TESCO Ireland was ordered to pay €6,000 to Ms Lattimore for discriminating against her when initially refused entry at TESCO stores at Adamstown on June 3rd 2024, and at Spencer Dock and Parnell Street on July 16th 2024.

In her other successful discrimination claims in July 2024, the WRC ordered Dealz to pay Ms Lattimore €7,000 compensation when she was challenged at a Dealz store at the Ilac Centre in Dublin in June 2023.

In September 2024, the WRC ordered German discount retailer, Lidl, to pay €2,000 compensation to Ms Lattimore after she was asked to move away from a bakery section in one of its stores because of her guide dog in February 2024.

In December 2024, the Eddie Rockets chain of restaurants was ordered to pay €5,000 compensation to Ms Lattimore after she was left ‘humiliated and upset’ when a worker refused her request to sit elsewhere in one of its restaurants.
