The council’s Arts and Culture Committee has backed a motion calling for fireworks to be restricted at council or council-backed events.On, Cllr Heney said she put forward the plan “due to the negative effects of these fireworks on people, on animals and on our general environment”.Fireworks explode over the River Liffey and Dublin City Centre with the Customs House on the left, 19-03-2005.
“I just don’t like when we bring in motions that would remove a service to an area without consultation with that area. “We haven’t had the need for any of that escalation over the last few years because the routine that has been there and the culmination in the fireworks show has had a very positive effect.”She said removing the official fireworks display will not reduce the use of fireworks by residents.
