Just watch the hootenanny and stop moaning.
because a decent fireworks display costs around a million euro. London spent nearly 2 million sterling this year, Sydney around twice that. perhaps you could pay for it next year?

If we spent the same amount as other countries you and countless other people would be giving out saying ‘thought we were broke’, rabble rabble rabble. Irish people are never happy, we always need something to moan about (like me at the minute)
We have no money.
Dublin at least could stretch t’ a bar or three of Ould’Lang
My Dears
Even U2s News Years Day?
It was shamefully pathetic tbh
Yeah lets follow Europe’s lead on that, sure when have they ever steered us down a path that didn’t end up too well before?.. Get a fecking life and go out for a pint on NYE like everyone else instead of filming the city skyline from your balcony like a muppet.
+2015
Thank god my New Years resolution is to not feed the trolls.
Perhaps a reply in February then so?
what path? you walked down insolvency all by your good self you morons.
Slowed it down??? Hmmmm… strange that all the cars still seem to be moving in fast-forward.
What a terrible time lapse video. Complete waste of time.
Thanks for filming this! We really are pathetic when it comes to celebrating anything.
So if you don’t have fireworks you are pathetic?
Not just fireworks but anything that is publicly visible in celebration. I honestly think everyone was sleeping at midnight in Galway. Why does everything have to take place in the pub?
Bulgaria….BULGARIA!!! Probably all private displays too.

Krakow, Poland. Drone propeller sound ruins it but you deserve the headache. ;)

Tip for 2015, get a life and stop wasting time making pointless videos.
…because Irish politicians are involved!
If we had one would you go watch it?……Even if you had to pay in to an area to see it?….In the rain?….
6e a pint?…. and the busses / Darts are only ever hour till 2am?
It would keep us busy on here giving out about it if nothing else. ‘and the taxes I pay etc’.
That’s the thing with fireworks, you don’t have to go to a pub to see them.
I live over 5km north of Salthill in Galway and this display sponsored by the US Embassy during the Volvo Ocean Race looked amazing from here.
Surely didn’t cost over a million euro either.

Why the hell would anyone celebrate the start of a year that might be engraved on your tombstone?
To celebrate making it through the previous year without having it engraved on our Tombstone?
Well that cost about €25:00 from the bad boy fireworks hut at carrickarnon.
The display in london was brilliant ( the london eye would provide the ultimate pink floyd stage backdrop n’cest pas ?)
The only thing we seem to be good at is drinking and stumbling from one financial crisis to another.
I’m voting with my feet first opportunity i get.
Well it’ll take some practise but what great patriotic symbolism to show what can be done when we put our minds to something. Let’s ALL vote with our feet.
At least they didn’t fupp it up like Manchester https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sstCkVDsgls
I live in Holland and the place is like a war zone on NYE.
BUT (And I’m surprised that this isn’t mentioned)
Easily 90% came from the fireworks of private citizens (as most of the ones in those other videos seem to be). Yes, fireworks are legal here.
Leaglise them in Ireland and then you’d get your firework display.
I’m not advocating legalising them, because I couldn’t give one lonesome shit about whether there is a firework display in Dublin like in other European cities, but that’s the answer to yer question right there.
In what part of the city was the camera?
Preventing the release of large amounts of pollution?

I think we passed Peak Pyrotechnic some years back in Tigerland. We don’t have to spend millions on them every NYE. They’re the Bollinger of an already decently-stocked cocktail hour. The ‘Procession of Light’ in town was creative, colourful and entertaining and not a firework needed.
