Halloween revellers warned not to throw vapes onto bonfires after girl eye
Vapes and nitrous oxide canisters being thrown into bonfires in “neglected” communities in Tallaght is a "massive issue", a local councillor has said.

She said: “There are vapes everywhere and if it's not vapes it’s nitrous oxide canisters.
However, she added: “At the same time you can’t be lighting fires on greens, the fires shouldn’t be lit.” Niamh said she isn’t surprised something like this has happened, as West Tallaght has been neglected for “a long, long time”. “They are throwing pennies at it when it’s a massive issue and it’s only when something like this happens that there’s a bit of attention for a week or two, but in six months we will still have the same problems.”
However, distraught mother Ciara doesn’t believe this will stop teenagers from getting their hands on them. She said: “They will still be everywhere, there was a battery from a vape outside our house yesterday and we could hear it sparking. She will have to wait six weeks to heal before she is fitted for a prosthetic eye. Ciara said she is extremely worried about the long road they have ahead.
