This is bullshit. They had no right to arrest the guy other than put up a scare technique to scare ppl off. There's no ground to arrest anyone when the securities were there permitting tree burning and then turn around arresting people.

Me , the missus and our three dogs arrived a tad late, just before ten pm and must have just missed the super-conflagration seen in some of Scott's excellent photos.

The cops had 'cordoned off' the main parking area by then with a Crown Vic at each end, but left huge gaps for us to easily park and get down onto the beach.

The dogs loved the low key vibe and we wandered from fire to fire chatting with young Dubliners and a wonderful Indian family who had managed to get their non-Xmas fire fuel (looked like very dry particle board) down to the shoreline in a red four wheel drive and who win the 'hottest fire' competition. It burned hot and steady for the half hour we spent in its vicinity, but as I say, we missed the super-conflag. Did it really pin people up against the seawall?

Sorry to have missed Danger Ranger but I wish him a Happy New Year anyway.

Love to all and all for one. Howeird.

Police and/or park rangers arrested a fellow after he lit some more christmas trees, while the officers were trying to put out the bonfire.

I have some photos but they are grainy and a bit unsharp.
It was really dark and I was of course surprised by that.
