    Seems to be a lot of fireworks being let off this year. Has anyone seen bold people selling these things illegally around Dublin? Where are people buying these loud things? Kids love them at Halloween ;)

    i was just saying this morning, that i have heard only about 2 fireworks this year.

    Unlike when i moved in to my house 4 years ago, it was like living in a war zone from September onwards

    Maybe (hopefully) all the usual suspects have blown themselves up already

    I've only heard about two fireworks being let off so far this year.

    I'm sure that'll change in the coming nights but for now it's quiet out there......

    .... almost too quiet!

    Same, It seemed to only kick off a few days ago in my area, hadn't heard any until then.

    Been relatively quiet this year.

    Heard a fair few going off but not nearly as many as in previous years.

    Maybe it's just the area getting slightly older, maybe they're too busy with their hibedy-hop music and crack cocaines to be bothered with fireworks now... I dunno.

    Heard very few- no longer does Dublin sound like Baghdad.

    Can get them on Moore St easy enough if you ask one of the fruit women.

    they are awful things and are illegal for a reason so dont know why people are wondering where they can buy them!! Fireworks have a huge effect on my dog I have to sedate her. Now I send her home to the country:mad:

    I love Halloween! I visit every vet in the area to get tranquilisers for 'my two St Bernards', who coincidentally weigh exactly the same as me! :D

    Not your ornery onager

    Well they're certainly not illegal to stop dogs getting scared.

    thank you Sean for stating the obvious. It is very distressing when you have to watch your dog cowering in fear and looking for any wardrobe that she can hide in to get away from the noise. Also how do persons with impaired vision survive over Hallowen, there dogs are probably as equally distraught:mad:
