The seizure comes as part of the annual Garda "Operation Tombola" campaign, set up with a focus on preventing and detecting the sale of illegal fireworks.
The joint campaign with the Dublin Fire Brigade and Department of Justice aims to remind people that it is a criminal offence to possess fireworks without a licence, which could lead to a €10,000 fine or five years in prison.
