Parents and children have been warned about the dangers of buying and using illegal fireworks in the run-up to Halloween.
Justice Minister Helen McEntee, speaking at the launch of the Government’s ’Don’t add to the problem' fireworks awareness campaign, called on the public to think of frontline services and workers dealing with Covid-19 before using them.
