EARLIER THIS WEEK, gardaí seized €10,000 worth of fireworks during a search operation in Balbriggan, Dublin.
Gardaí said it’s understood the fireworks were to be used for sale and supply in the north Dublin area.
As early as August this year, people were raising concerns over the “intimidating” use of fireworks across the capital.
The sale, possession and use of fireworks in the Republic of Ireland is illegal.
It is also illegal to possess fireworks that may have been legally purchased outside the jurisdiction and brought into the State.
An Garda Síochána can confiscate fireworks found in a person’s possession and can take a prosecution against someone for having them.
The punishments range from a fine of €2,500 or imprisonment of up to 6 months (upon a summary conviction) to a fine of €10,000 and jail time of up to 5 year (conviction indictment).
So, today we want to know… Should there be tougher penalties for using fireworks?

Fancy meeting you here, Rust
Should the last line not read ‘Farewell Hart and Cohle’?
Are you telling me I have Rust Cohle on the brain? *Ahem*
(That’s fixed)
Not to mention that Kelly Reilly was also in Calvary. Excellent actress.
She was indeed!
And Above suspicion with Ciaran Hinds too, tis was good too.
The joys of showbox means there won’t be much of a wait here
Loved the first season – had so much going for it with the cast involved. Colin Farrell is a great actor but has made some awful choices in the movies he’s made- fingers crossed this will get him back on track. Top marks for the Tache!!!
This series has a lot to live up to. Rust and Cohle were bloody great and Carcosa was an excellent story. Long live these great TV shows, because everything else on the box is cack!!!
Brilliant last season
Preserve us from Colin Farrell.
