Review of Northern Ireland’s Fireworks Legislation

Review of Northern Ireland’s Fireworks Legislation
That this Assembly recognises the widespread distress and disruption caused by the misuse of fireworks across Northern Ireland; acknowledges the serious impact on animals, wildlife, and people, including those living with trauma or heightened sensitivity to noise; notes that the Explosives (Fireworks) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2002 have not kept pace with modern availability and usage; and calls on the Minister of Justice to commission an urgent and comprehensive review of fireworks legislation to ensure that it provides appropriate safeguards, promotes responsible celebration, and better protects the welfare of people, animals, and communities.
