Zombies, spooks, ghosts and goblins are all in the mix, but watch out for the bonfires

IN THE lead-up to Halloween, Dublin City Council have an online portal where residents can report the location of bonfire material in their community, even if it is on private property.

Anyone can log in and report bonfire material via HERE.

Reports can be made anonymously by following the on-screen instructions, which require a location and a brief description of the amount and type of material, plus any additional relevant information.

Meanwhile, Ballyfermot Halloween Committee is planning a great day of activity on Tuesday, October 31.

Familibase and Cherry Orchard running club are planning a zombie run in Le Fanu Park and a Halloween party at Familibase and the leisure centre.

Ballyfermot Youth Service and Candle will host a Halloween disco party in Markievicz Park and the Equine Centre will host the haunted house.

DCC will host an accessible and inclusive Halloween-themed space in Ballyfermot Civic Centre. This will involve collaboration with local support groups for children with specific needs, local schools and DCC internal resources (mobile sensory play unit).

The ‘Spooky Sensory Space’ will provide an additional and alternative element to the overall Halloween Festival to ensure that the programme content caters for children and young people of all ages and abilities.

The council is liaising with Dublin Fire Brigade and local gardai to visit local schools in the run up to Halloween. The council will also support events in Bluebell, Ring Street and Drimnagh over the Halloween period.
