    Pretty harsh statement to make considering the article has barely enough info in it except to know that the injuries are serious.
    But you seem to know more.

    Can you actually die from fireworks? Thought you'd just get your face burnt off.

    I wonder how often people get injured from fireworks

    Fireworks are illegal in Ireland, not that you would know as they seem to start going off in mid August.

    "injured when they came into contact with a firework"

    Strange wording.

    Oh. Right. Hidden option three, then: unsubstantiated bull****.

    Two kids get injured “coming in contact” with a firework. Then a couple of nights later a house with two kids inside gets shot up. One of the kids in the house is “linked” to the firework incident. Op is calling the kids who got injured in the first place scumbags. I don’t know what’s going on, but there’s clearly more to the story.

    Why are fireworks legal in the UK and most of EU?

    Nah a week before the kids were helping the poor and donating to charity.
    Until you back everything up with facts then your statement holds as much water as mine.
    And even if they did, death is some statement to make.

    No they are not. They are illegal in the Republic of Ireland. Cross the order at Carrickarnon into Northern Ireland and you wont have to travel too far to fnd place to purchase them

    Thought it was something to do with the troubles.
    Strange they're legal up there though.
    No loss anyway.

    So who shot at the house then? Someone they threw fireworks at?

    It means that the lowest of the low standard of dodgy Chinese firework ends up being sold on the street down here.

    Yeah , but they're the best ones .
    The uncertainty of not whether they will light at all or blow up someone's porch.

    If you know what's going on, why don't you tell us clearly in one post?

    I heard that one of the teenagers lost an eye, the other a couple of fingers. No one deserves that. OP, you should be ashamed of yourself.

    But if they were firing fireworks at Gardaí and who knows who else, wouldn’t you rather they lost an eye than an innocent passerby?

    But has it been proven with facts these are the same two kids?
