Residents living near the site of Conor McGregor’s sprawling €100m residential complex are being hit by the racket.
Heavy excavations in the south Dublin The construction project allegedly veered beyond the 6 p.m. cutoff point.
The noise sparked complaints urging city council leaders to intervene.
Michael Pidgeon, a local Green Party councillor, who lives near the project, said: “It’s a very noisy site because of the excavation.
“It’s definitely past 6pm sometimes, and I don’t know if they’re allowed to.”
Residents revealed the amazing drilling operations along the Grand Canal, which continued until approximately 7 p.m.
One resident told us: “Last night, they didn’t finish working until well after the 6pm curfew. It wasn’t just a small amount of construction, or a couple of workers, it was digging foundations into the ground and the sound Very loud.
“It’s annoying during the day, primarily, but you learn to live with it, and you get on with it, but in the evening, when you come home from work or bring your kids home from school, it’s not there.
“There are elderly people in the community, there are a lot of families, people have pets, and when you come home to try to get away from a hard day’s work, make tea, get your family ready for the next day, to continue digging for an hour after curfew is unacceptable. It’s an insult. “For the local residents of the area who have to put up with a lot of noise during the day anyway, this is disrespectful to the community.”
The rules state that noisy heavy machinery must be shut down by 6pm on weekends, but permits can be issued to allow them to operate later.
However, the council is obliged to inform residents of updated drilling times, however it is understood no messages have been sent.
Dublin City Council was contacted for comment yesterday to clarify the situation.

A month later, the DCC asked the UFC star for another planning requirement, this time to monitor bat activity.
However, the Dublin hotel appears to have overcome both problems as construction finally began in July.
Drilling rounds
It started with demolition and now involves rounds of major excavation.
The plan is for 300 apartments plus shops, cafes and supermarkets on three separate adjacent sites.
Only about 250 of these apartments will be rented.
All this is happening on a site that the fighter bought for 19 million euros.
local Sinn Fein Councilman Meyer Devine has previously criticized the project, saying it would not lead to “affordable” housing.
“Build-to-rent is not what we need,” she said, “but what can you do?”
She added that McGregor, a Crumlin native, is “a man of the people, so maybe he will have something in this development for the community.”
McGregor himself insisted that what he was building would be “a showplace when it’s finished.”
The star already owns the right number Twelve Irish Whiskey and a couple of pubs in Dublin including the Marble Arch next door to the Drimnagh location.
