    Sainsburys in The Quays in Newry. There is a fireworks place in Flagstaff which is just outside of Newry towards the Carrickdale Hotel. If you need further directions let me know.

    No licence required, the lads selling them do so from shipping containers and will take any money you have euro or sterling, I'd say they would even take dollars :D. It's not really a transaction where you would get a 14 day money back guarantee though if you know what I mean ;). When coming back from Newry you will see signs before you cross the border back.

    Remember purchasing them might be ok up North but once you bring them South of the border your car may be seized should you be searched by Customs.
