    Thats it, since they made that provision in the Good Friday agreement regarding recreational explosives, theres been a marked increase in the volume of them down here.

    Fireworks can be very dangerous if they get into the hands of children.

    i love fireworks.
    I have a heap of them already.
    The garda actually pulled up at one of my friends gafs and watched and clapped at the fireworks we were lighting.
    until we fired a rocket over someones back wall and milled a car out of it.

    It's like a war zone here atm. The dog freaks out every time one goes off.. the dopey fcuker, you'd think he'd cop on after a few thousand that he doesn't need to hide in the bathroom.

    I can never understand why people spend their money on bangers. They explode and make a loud bang......WOW! :rolleyes:

    As i always say you'd be better off just doing a ripper of a fart, at least there can be some comedic value to that :D

    Jesus OP, where have you been? Speaking as a Dub, fireworks have been a traditional right for generations of Dubs despite them been illegal. I even set some off myself over the years.
    And yes there is some newish law about a 10grand fine for letting off a banger but have you seen anyone charged over it? Basically the fireworks banning law was brought in at the start of the Troubles(explosives related) and about time it was repealed so respectable folks can enjoy the occasion without being branded criminals.

    Me too. Open the eyes man, far more serious issues. No matter where you live, if your seeing fireworks on the streets, theres a gear head close-by. Not selling fireworks though i might add :pac:

    They are not dangerous.

    Yeah sure,some people attach them to dogs and cats and see how high they can fly and even fire them at livestock but over all the majority of people use them safely.

    It's one of the many benefits of living near the border....:D
    They literally have them on sale on the side of the roads and have shops of them.

    The closer to Hallowen you leave it the cheaper they are. Any scum that use them to hurt or scare animals should serve a lengthy jail term though....:(

    Properly made ones are quite safe. Unfortunately the majority of the ones I've seen so far seem to be cheap ****.
