Dear Editor,
I am writing in the hope that something will be done in relation to the bonfires that take place every year on the green area opposite the shopping centre in Mervue.
I live in Parnell Avenue, which is very close to the area where those awful bonfires take place. I, and many others that I know, feel very frightened and intimidated by the gangs that stand around the big fire, swearing, drinking alcohol, also shouting obscenities to anyone that passes by, either going to the shops or the bus.
The bonfire goes on for at least two days; the green is left in a terrible mess afterwards. It takes up to a year for the grass to grow back again.
In the past few days, I have seen quite a number of young children bringing tyres and wooden pallets into their homes. They are stocking up, getting ready for the big bonfire.
I'm hoping that by writing this letter that the local residents' association and the community garda will make every effort to put a stop to it this year. Those fires are going on for far too long; they should have dealt with this years ago.
Thanking you,
Name and address with Editor
