Ennis Native Whose Dog Was Killed Due To Fireworks Reminds Public Of Halloween Dangers

An Ennis woman whose dog was tragically killed after being startled by fireworks is reminding Halloween revellers of the dangers associated with the day. Following the discharge of a firework near Clíodhnadh Sheedy's family farm on the outskirts of Ennis last Thursday evening, her one-year-old Rottweiler, Bear, became confused and ran out on the road where he was hit by a car and suffered fatal injuries. Under Irish law, possessing unlicensed fireworks, which includes all fireworks except the likes of party poppers and sparklers, carries a fine up €10,000 or can result in five years in prison. Ambassador at Cystic Fibrosis Ireland and Ennis native Chlíonadh Sheedy says regardless of a pet's temperament, they become completely disorientated once they hear fireworks.
