Dublin City Council is appealing to communities across the capital to play their part in ensuring a safe Halloween by reporting any materials being gathered for illegal bonfires. Such bonfires present serious dangers to public safety, property, and the environment, as well as placing additional strain on emergency services.
Members of the public who notice waste or items being stored for bonfires are encouraged to report these promptly. Reports can be made via the Council’s Citizen Hub online or by phone during office hours and out-of-hours services. Residents and businesses are reminded not to leave waste in visible or accessible areas, as these materials may be collected for unsafe bonfires often stored in laneways, derelict buildings, sheds, or basements.
Lord Mayor Daryl Barron emphasised the importance of community vigilance, stating that early reporting can prevent injuries and property damage. The Council works closely with An Garda Síochána to remove hazardous materials from both the Northside and Southside of Dublin. Fire safety advice from Dublin Fire Brigade also highlights the dangers of fireworks and bonfires, urging the public to maintain safe distances and avoid alcohol consumption near fires. For information on family-friendly Halloween events organised by the Council, residents can visit the official website.
