Fireworks policy in the Republic of Ireland
.jpg)
This article deals with the fireworks policy in the Republic of Ireland.
In the Republic of Ireland, only category F1 fireworks (such as sparklers) are available for sale, possession and use to amateurs.[1] This makes Ireland one of the strictest countries in the world when it comes to consumer fireworks.[2]
The original law banning ordinary citizens from the purchase of fireworks, the Explosives Act 1875, was adopted when the island was still part of the United Kingdom.[3] Subsequent amendments and additional acts were passed to make the policy even stricter.[3] For example, because the 1875 Act did not contain a provision on the possession of fireworks,[2] the law was amendend in 2006 to ban amateurs from owning fireworks as well.[3] A person selling, buying, owning or lighting fireworks from categories F2 to F4 without a licence is now punishable with a fine or even imprisonment. Only pyrotechnicians are allowed to ignite such heavier fireworks.[2]
