VANCOUVER - Angry Vancouver residents have complained that Irish Olympic Games revellers are too noisy with police receiving a steady stream of calls from bleary-eyed locals.
Locals say they can hardly sleep at night and fear even more noise from the Irish House hospitality tent once the 2010 Games officially get underway Friday.
One resident, noting in shock that the Irish like nothing more than to make merry, complained on a Flickr webpage that the venue, Doolin's, is "essentially a giant pub under a thin sheet of plastic with ridiculously loud live bands."
Another resident, Erin Hudson said that the music hadn't stopped until after 2 a.m "and that's all anybody was talking about in the morning".
According to Vancouver's chief licensing inspector Barbara Windsor, there have been more than two dozen official complaints to city authorities.
She said the venue had agreed to turn down the volume in acknowledgement of the fact that, as more fans arrive, the situation would otherwise deteriorate.
A spokesperson for the Games' organising committee, Lizette Parsons Bell, referred enquiries regarding entertainment facilities during the touornament to the city authorities.
Ireland have a team of six taking part in the Olympics.

My favourite Comments I feel they deserve to be repeated: 1.It is my sincere hope that the complaints of these individuals who have chosen to live in the downtown core of Canada's third largest city are taken very seriously ... on February 28. and the funniest one 2. "What a dumb ass place to put a party house though. I think the Germans have the best location at the Rowing Club in Coal Harbour.Looks cool too !" ...Now tell me, if you were heading to a party but two friends were having it the same night. One was German and one was Irish. Which party would you go to? I should know, I married a German but thank god his dad found a fun Irish woman to mix it up with and we alway have one boring Christmas party to go to and FUN one.

this is as ridiculous as the people that live by the airport complaining about the noise from jets. i'm going to buy a condo beside gm place and when it gets to loud, i'll complain. "umm excuse me, could you ask the fans to keep the cheering to a minimum". well i guess calgary does have that problem

This is why Vancouver is a joke of a city. Everyone complains, and thats all they do. Suck it up people, if you don't like it, please move away.
