    Being 5tup1d with fireworks and being 5tup1d with firearms ought to be the same crime. Hope the lady recovers, but it sounds very bad.

    Sounds like she was just minding her own business and all. Poor woman. I hope she recovers fully. What kind of ding dong sets off a firework in a busy city centre.

    Gardai asking for CCTV footage …. I hope they aren’t just waiting for it to land in their laps, and are actually proactively approaching businesses in the area asking for it.

    A life changing injury to a young girls face, caused by someone who does not care about the physical and mental damage they have inflicted.

    A lot of people don’t seem to realise that fireworks are quite serious explosives. The lifting charge alone has enough energy to launch the thing several hundred feet in the air. and the radius and and heat of the main charge is huge. They need to be treated with the same respect as any other explosive.

    @Francis Devenney: unfortunately, I don’t think the people using them care about that, and I’m pretty sure they won’t be reading this article. They will only learn when they get injured themselves :(

    @Jimmy Jones: pretty sure the people that did it don’t read or reply to articles on the journal
