    Don't really know the dublin area but is there a barracks around the D2 area? I'm thinkin maybe there was some kind of improvised bomb found and the army were called in to detonate it?

    If army are training in the area, maybe it was some jet breaking sound barrier? That's a loud booming sound isn't it?

    What would they break the sound barrier with? Some sort of hammer?

    The sound barrier would indeed use some sort of hammer to break jets.

    induring its absolutely nothing at all. Just random lad 1 heard a bang from a construction site, random lad 2 saw a helicopter and assumed it was the army goin mad! and finally random lad 3's friend saw an ambulance with blue lights flashing parked on Tara street. Pile of ould biddies!
    There might be something about it on tv3 news in a few minutes.
    As if Irish news would ever report something on time. Give it at least 2 hours :pac:


    Wait...what am I doing on this forum? *runs away*
