Fireworks Information

Fireworks are not only dangerous, they cause real harm and there are severe criminal penalties that apply to their possession and use.

Fireworks contain explosive materials and are potentially very dangerous if misused, especially high hazard fireworks (such as bangers, rockets, roman candles, cake/batteries or shells).

An import licence is required for all fireworks, and it is an offence to possess unlicensed fireworks (other than low hazard fireworks, such as party poppers, sparklers and so on), with intent to sell or supply. It is also an offence to throw or direct any ignited firework at a person or property

Fines of up to €10,000 and/or 5 years imprisonment can apply.
