Around 450 tonnes of bonfire stockpiles have been confiscated across Dublin in the run-up to Halloween.
It comes as Dublin Fire Brigade prepares for its busiest night of the year tomorrow.
By midday yesterday, 180 reports of bonfire materials had been made by the public to Dublin City Council's citizen hub.

A number of departments within the local authority have been removing stockpiles over the last 10 days.
In that time, 450 tonnes of materials have been collected – a larger amount than was confiscated last year.
The council is urging anyone who comes across a bonfire stockpile to report it through the citizen hub.
