Gardaí launch crackdown on illegal Hallowe’en fireworks

KERRY gardaí are cracking down on people who use or trade illegal fireworks in the run-up to Hallowe’en.

In recent years problems have also been caused in housing estates in Tralee and Killarney during Hallowe’en, with bonfires getting out of control and fire brigades receiving call-outs.

However, gardaí are currently focussing on stopping the supply of fireworks and bangers, some of which are crudely manufactured and can be dangerous.
