Gardai warn public against dangers of illegal fireworks
BY CAITLIN O'HANLON Gardai in Galway took extensive measures this Hallowe'en season by deploying extra patrols over the past few days in an effort to prevent the use of illegal fireworks throughout the city and county. Gardai issued a statement this week reminding of the dangers of black market fireworks, which are often produced at a low standard and can often be "defective and extremely dangerous". They are reminding the people of Galway that the sale and/or use of fireworks is illegal in Ireland and a fine of 10,000 can be given to anyone who is found to be in possession of them. Gardai are also asking parents to be vigilant in informing their children about the dangers posed by illegal fireworks. Saying that fireworks are a "potentially lethal weapon", Gardai said it is unacceptable to give them to children. Anyone who is aware of persons selling or in the possession of fireworks should report the matter to their local Gardai immediately.
