New Fines Target Barbecues in Parks | Cork News

Published 2 weeks ago
Description

Wildfires in Ireland’s national parks are sparking urgent action as new legislation aims to slash reckless behavior—with on-the-spot fines of up to €1,000 for using disposable barbecues. Fast-tracked by ministers, the National Parks Bill targets human-caused blazes, which are never natural, and could soon expand restrictions during heatwaves. A parallel review of the Wildlife Act may bring harsher penalties for intentional fires, sending a clear message: our natural heritage demands accountability, especially as climate change heightens fire risks. This is about prevention, responsibility, and protecting irreplaceable landscapes.
