Gardaí issue Halloween safety appeal against illegal fireworks and bonfires

The public is also reminded that it is a criminal offence to throw fireworks in the street or in other public places

Gardaí have appealed to those planning to use illegal fireworks or bonfires during Halloween festivities in the coming days to consider the dangers and environmental effects before participating.

Operation Tombola, the nationwide effort to prevent and detect the sale of fireworks and address associated public order and anti-social behavior during Halloween, will again be active to monitor festivities.
