You can get a € 10,000 fine or five years in jail for possessing an illegal firework device there. Wtf is wrong with that country?  :thumbdn:

Maybe Shleeds cousins in the Provos were disguising their bombs as fireworks back in the 70s and 80s?  :zoinks:

The law is rarely enforced, lit.

The blasphemy law, now that's a disgrace. I'm normally not the political type, but the possibility of being arrested for fucking off someone's religion is ridiculous.

There was a guy blowing up trees in central Jönköping in Småland. He got a few thousand kronor fine or a few hundred €.

If he did it in a public place/outside his home, he deserves it. :zoinks:

Unless you live there and have to deal with laws you don't like there is no point in worrying about such things Lit. If I was into fireworks big time then I could probably find better places to visit than Ireland. Likewise if I wanted to smoke pot/hash in other countries then I would probably pick Netherlands or Canada over Singapore or Turkey.

So if I were to go to Ireland and say at the top of my voice: "God is a fucking wanker!" they'd arrest me?  :orly:

Damn, I really want to visit Ireland too.    I guess that means I won't be shooting off any fireworks or blaspheming.
:P   Internets are super serious.

But it's a fucking disgrace that such a law is allowed in a Western country. In comparison: the punishment for an illegal gun in Russia is four years. So Ireland has a law that punishes people harder for possessing a homemade firecracker than Russia has for possessing a gun. Shame on Ireland.
