An Ennis woman whose dog was tragically killed after being startled by fireworks is reminding Halloween revelers 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.
