Bonfore Night – A message from Mayo County Council

With St John’s Eve just around the corner, Mayo County Council wishes to advise the public that the lighting of bonfires should be undertaken with great care.

Mayo County Council does not wish to break traditions steeped in our history and culture, but must advise the public of the dangers of large bonfires on this night. Traditional bonfires only burned untreated wood waste.

The public are reminded that the burning of all waste including the burning of tyres is illegal under the Waste Management Act. Also, the Pollution Act obliges everybody not to cause or allow emissions in such a quantity as to be a nuisance or cause air pollution.

Please therefore, think before you light a bonfire this year, and remember not to burn tyres, waste or any other dangerous materials.

The North Mayo Summer School will take place from the 6th to 10th July in Killala NS. Traditional Irish Music will be taught on the fiddle, tin whistle, accordion, flute, traditional guitar, bodhran, harp and banjo.
