Hi,
I live in a suburban house where during the winter our neighbours have an almost premanently smoking chimney. The prevailing winds more often than not blow this directly into our garden making it unpleasant for us, smoking out clothes on the line etc.
I am unsure as to whether this is due to coal, or as been suggested to us, wood and other waste products supplied to them by another neighbour with a carpentry, joinery business.
We are very unhappy with the situation but do we have any redress?
My understanding was that smokeless fuels have to be used in urban areas since Mary Harney was a minister in the 1989 coalition with FF. It may just be smokeless coal though as I can't remember the exact legalities.
The first step is to reason with them but is this the only tool in my armoury to dissuade them of what they are doing?
Thanks in advance,
Gearoid
