I support the comments of my colleague, Senator Glynn, on the issue of fireworks. Legislation is in place for the enforcement of the Act. However, if it is not enforced, we must ask why. The Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform must explain to the House why it is not enforced. The same goes for bonfires which are not covered by any legislation. On bonfire night in Dublin city, parks and other areas become no-go areas except for drug-taking and boozing. Long gone are the days that a bonfire was something to be enjoyed. Legislation is needed in this area.
