Limerick Gardaí issue warning ahead of Halloween

Garda John Finnerty.

GARDAÍ are appealing to people across Limerick to enjoy Halloween safely.

Garda John Finnerty, of Henry Street Garda Station, said that “every year lots of children and young people end up in hospital with injuries. Do not buy, use, or ignite fireworks. Fireworks are illegal, dangerous and can cause serious injury. Keep away from bonfires. Bonfires often collapse or explode without warning causing serious injury.”

Garda Finnerty added that “if you dress up in dark clothes, add reflective material so you can be seen by motorists and cyclists. Remember that your behaviour affects your neighbours.

“Loud noises created by fireworks, bangers and bonfires can scare people and animals,” the Limerick Garda added.
