A Dublin City Councillor is calling for the return of free skips to reduce bonfire material this Halloween.
Ballyfermot-Drimnagh Councillor Daithi Doolan warned that stockpiling of bonfire materials is on the rise, and that bonfires pose a danger to children and public green spaces. He told Dublin Live: "A few years ago we decided to put free skips into areas like Ballyfermot, Cherry Orchard and Drimnagh to reduce the stockpiling of bonfire materials.
"The skips were a huge success, I saw the success firsthand in Ballyfermot and in Cherry Orchard. But we were told this year by Dublin City Council that they had decided to suspend and reverse the skip service."
