Smoky air in Loughlinstown - Fires in Wicklow mountains?

Supercell · 2014-07-15 17:43:03

The air in Loughlinstown this evening is very smoky, far more than a neighbour having a bbq smoky. Are there bad fires in the Wicklow mountains again?

Not as bad now thankfully, they must have it under control. My toddler was not liking it one bit there for a while.

I can smell the smell of burning vegetation in Dublin city centre quite strongly.
