Is tonight, in Sligo anyway. Was talking to Galway guy and has said they don't do it down there. I always thought this was like a nationwide thing. Do the rest of ye do it?![]()
Life without Rovers, it makes no sense...it's a heartache...nothing but a fools game. S.R.F.C.

No, it's like the only night where you can dump junk in the open and get away with it.

Happens here in Limerick on April 30th ...the traditional "May Eve" bonfire as it's known is now a thinly veiled illegal dumping fest.
When I was a kid in the 70's and early 80's we used collect stuff for it door to door after school on the day of the fire. Nowadays it starts quite early in April and adults, usually the types who claim they can't afford to pay for refuse collection but have 07 Boras in their driveways, take active part. Among the items dumped in a field near my home this year were a washing machine and a cast iron garden set ...plenty of good burning there obviously.
Personnaly I'd round the ****s up and gas them like the rats they are.
How's that for Green credentials?![]()

To be honest i never heard of this tradition,the only other time i heard of an organised bonfire in Dublin would be the night everyone went back to school and it was given the incredibly well thought out name of - Back to school bonfire.

Yes, fires all over Cork City last night.
Think it would be a great thing if it was organised.
I hopped in the car and toured Mahon, Glanmire, Little Island and the northside.
The one in Little Island was the only well-organised one.
Had a bbq and stuff. There was war when the fire brigade turned up wanting to put it out.
The rest were messy usually.
Washing machines are not flammable.
City definetly have the best bands playing at half-time.

In Galway, bonfire night is on 23rd of June.
Sligoman, The lad from Galway that you were talking to was probably a city lad because everywhere else its on this day.
I think I should the parachute, because I'm great.
In fact, I think I should get both parachutes, in case one doesn't work.
