Rocket Pyrotechnics Storage Battle | Dublin News

A family-owned Irish fireworks giant, Rocket Pyrotechnics, is fighting to store up to 2,000kg of explosives underground in north Mayo — not to manufacture, but to survive. After Brexit shattered their supply chain, they’re now forced to haul materials from Northern Ireland for every event, risking collapse. The High Court sided with them, overturning a planning refusal and ordering a fresh review — calling out the commission’s misreading of local rules and warning that storing explosives safely often means “the middle of nowhere.” With only two indigenous pyrotechnics firms left in Ireland, their survival isn’t just about permits — it’s about keeping Irish fireworks alive.
