    Reports of a helicopter crash N.W. of Dunshaughlin.

    Pilot reported engine trouble and A.T.C. (not sure what loc) has lost contact with the aircraft.

    Army & Garda heli's have been sent to the area.

    **edit** At 17:50 control are reporting this as ''unconfirmed as yet''.

    ***edit*** At 17:54 the pilot has made contact with the police. He landed safely, no injuries to himself or his passengers but unsure of his location.

    *Phew!

    He's been reported found at Warrenstown College.

    Apparently no damage to the aircraft either, the incident has been down graded and is now not being treated as a crash.
