    The fireworks were to mark the final finisher in the Challenge Galway (Ironman distance) triathlon. They've been out since 6am this morning doing a 3.8km swim, 180km cycle and 42km (marathon) run.

    I thought Galway finally had its own gang war.

    Did they have a permit to set them off?
    What about the precious seagulls?
    Did they comply with the following?
    Your name and address as the applicant
    The name and address of the organiser of the fireworks display
    The name and address of the operator of the display
    The name and address of the safety officer for the display
    The date, location and reason for the display
    Furthermore you must confirm to the Department of Justice:
    That you have read and are aware of the contents of the Guidance Document on Organised Pyrotechnic Displays.
    That all operators used in the display are competent, in accordance with the guidance document.
    That adequate public liability insurance is in place.
    That you have consulted the local authority Fire Officer.
    That you have consulted the local Gardaí.
    That you have consulted with all other relevant interested parties, for example, your neighbours.

    I assume so - it was in the timetable for the weekend's events as "Fireworks (subject to licence)".

    There really should be some sort of law whereby anyone setting off fireworks should have to advertise it in advance so we can all see!
