Disappointment has been expressed following Fermanagh and Omagh District Council's last-minute decision to cancel its Halloween fireworks events, which were due to take place in Enniskillen and Omagh on Monday night.
It is believed "financial pressures" are the reason for the u-turn.
In a statement, Fermanagh and Omagh District Council revealed that given the scale of the immediate financial pressures on the Council, along with the wider cost of living crisis, the Council has been required to re-prioritise its budgets to ensure that it can meet its core financial obligations.
The Council said it was "aware" of the challenges households face in the coming months and is undertaking a wider review of budgets and is working with its statutory partners, local support organisations, and charities to develop schemes to support residents through the cost of living crisis.
In addition to this, the Council said it recognised that the decision to cancel the Halloween Fireworks events is disappointing, but it is reflective of the very challenging financial environment in which they are operating
