    I was waiting for someone to post about it :)

    I have no idea but did go out to watch it as it was too loud to sleep !
    On Twitter people were saying that there were Garda cars in some of the housing estate too .
    A few minutes before we did hear what sounded like a high speed car chase down the Straffan road but didn't see it .

    My house backs onto the Link Road.. the helicopter was almost right above us. There were Gardai in 2 of our neighbours back gardens with flashlights.. I assume somebody hopped the wall from the link road into the gardens

    A few people talking about it in Yik Yak too, apparently a house in Meadowbrook was raided, it's supposedly known as a brothel / drugs joint, who knows.

    I saw a pick on Twitter and it looked like Meadow Brook but was not sure.

    I slept through the whole thing!

    My sister was awake though and said there was an unmarked garda car at the entrance to Brookfield Park.

    Really hate hearing that there's possibly a brothel nearby but I have a feeling I know which house it is.

    From what my younger, "down with the kids" sister has told me people put comments on it and others vote if they're good or not. It's based on your location so you'll see comments within a certain radius of where you are.
