Low flying helicopter over Cherrymount

There has been a low flying helicopter just hovering over the Cherrymount area for the last 20 mins. Anyone know anything about this? Can't see any markings on the aircraft to figure it out.

I would imagine it's to do with Garda activity in that search for the lady that's missing.

Yeah it seems to be it, it's checking the river and the fields out towards the airport now.

Is it Navy blue with a red back end?

Top half white, luminous green stripe and navy bottom

Sounds like the garda eurocopter from your description.

Garda Air Support Unit, the Eurocopter EC135

Looks like it alright.

How / Where do people volunteer to help with the search?

I'd say probably ring the Garda station and ask them. No doubt they'll be looking for people to help out as much as they can
