Little topic of discussion this morning. In your opinion should they be banned or is your motto , leave the kids have their enjoyment and fun?

Bonfires are great. What's the harm when they're supervised, and not lighting wheelie bins in the streets.

It’s a tradition that I think had peaked and is slowly declining I feel with everyone being so safely conscious.

Agree with this. I think ppl are becoming more conscious environmentally and then there's the safety aspect. I haven't seen a Halloween bonfire lit in my area in many years. I don't disagree with them now before someone bounces on me and I loved them as a kid but there was always lots of parentental supervision too and not tyres

I didn’t realise the south celebrated the failure of the great gunpowder plot with bonfires seems bizarre

Even those of a certain persuasion don’t celebrate it up north

Maybe the pallets are too wet up north at this time of year for another bonfire

Dublin Fire Brigade dealt with 629 call outs over Halloween. 244 of the calls were to handle fires, mainly bonfires.

I guess it's the same in the north with the added fun of Guy Faulks night and the burning of the tricolour/poorly made Leo effigies/pallets/tyres in all the July stupidity.

In answer to the original question, I think setting bonfires is already illegal

Possibly this but also I think people are more lazy to set them up and also, aren't as many large grass areas or small fields that people owned so you can set them up as a lot has been sold for a bunch of house and whatever to be built on....suppose you could say it's a bunch of factors why you don't see many

I guess also schools and organisations who like to be thought of as being responsible and sustainable aren't going to be lighting massive fires in organised events so much. When I was at school there used to be a massive bonfire, but few schools will do this now. Insurance probably plays a part too.
