A husband and wife who had bought a new house beside a busy road without knowing about the noise involved have won a crucial battle with their local council.
Jackie McCormack and her husband, James, bought their 'absolutely beautiful' detached three-bed house in February last year.
Within a day of moving into the €375,000 home, they were taken aback by the constant rumbling, noise and pollution from the road beside them, with vehicles travelling up to 100km/h.
