    What needs to have happened to justify keeping half of Balbriggan awake like that - and it was a bit creepy too listening to it.

    Yep the previous time I heard it, I was half in dream world - thought it was an alien invasion, had to go down to check cat was indoors in case she was beamed up for an extra terristial experiment . . . . then I woke up properly and copped on, fairly annoying though.

    I think everyone needs to chill the fook out, the Gardai obviously got a new piece o' hardware and they're havin' fun with it.. Let's all try ignore the thing and get a good nights rest.

    Yeah, I heard they held a knife to a 17 year old girls neck, as far as I know they caught them, so I think the helicopter was a useful 'piece o' hardware' for the Gardai on this occassion.;)

    It wasnt a helicopter this time, I was out havin a smoke tuesday night when it flew directly over me, it was a plane.. a fookin BIG plane! Fairly low too, it came back over the house about 20 minutes later but I was back inside for that one.

    Are you sure it was a plane? I heard a lowflying one but also saw the helicopter.

    Pretty sure it was a helicopter, was fairly low and looked to be circling a lot quicker than a plane would!

    Pretty sure what flew over my head had wings, lights ALONG the wings, and was travelling in a straight line.

    Because of the winds this week a lot of planes have been coming in over Rush. Depending on direction of winds a lot of planes from europe seem to come across from Manchester/Liverpool and fly down the coast and turn in over Baldoye and head for Airport. The last 2 flights I have been on came in that way. They are quite low. about 1,500 feet was the altidtude going back a few years ago but 1 or 2 have been very noisy
