Gardaí issue fireworks warning

With Halloween upon us, gardaí remind the public that the possession, sale and use of fireworks are illegal and pose serious risks to public safety.

Illegal fireworks may lack safety standards, potentially increasing the risk of injury, fire and property damage due to their unpredictable nature. The loud noise, bright flashes and sudden vibrations can also be overwhelming to domestic animals and livestock.

A fully licensed fireworks extravaganza, part of the annual Spleodar Festival, will take place in Nenagh on Halloween night - https://spleodar.ie/fireworks/
