A District Court Judge will inspect Dicey's nightclub after residents living nearby objected to their special exemption license which allows them to serve late night alcohol.
Judge Marie Quirke previously ordered the famous Harcourt Street venue to lower the decibel level of their speakers in outdoor areas. However, the residents, who mostly live in O'Carroll's Villas which are a two-minute walk from the back of Dicey's, complained the noise was "much the same" and accused the nightclub of "playing games" since the order at a hearing on Wednesday.
This was disputed by sound expert Jim Dunne who said there was a "negligible difference" of noise in the homes of the residents when the city centre nightclub was open. Mr Dunne carried out a number of tests in the homes of some of the residents since the order to lower the music.
