ALERT: Tipperary gardaí issue cryptic warning over use of fireworks

Tipperary gardaí have issued a cryptic warning over the use of fireworks in residential estates. 

Without giving details on any particular incident, Tipperary gardaí said in a post on social media: "A firework display can be great entertainment but in Ireland this must be done under license because someone licensed to do it would know that it is not acceptable to let of fireworks in a residential estate.

"Not only are you breaking the law by letting off fireworks when you are not authorised to do so but you are also saying to your neighbours that you don't really care about their right to live in peace and harmony in their own home.

"Please stop letting off fireworks in residential estates, we don't want to put an end to your celebrations but if you disrupt others and are caught you will be prosecuted and then there will be some 'fireworks' in court before a judge.

"Be a good neighbour."
