    Did anyone see the cops outside the eng building's goods entrance? Looks like a heist on the bank to me!

    There were 2 helicopters flying around when I came in, actually. Didn't look like Garda copters, but could be related, dunno.

    Couldn't tell ye, but as I say, they didn't look like Garda helicopters.

    Doubt they've only got the 1 though, the amount of crime...

    They have two. And a plane. Not sure where they base the choppers. Presumably at least one in Dublin and the other is rotated around as required.

    I presume you destroyed all evidence of everything before they got to the FYP lab!

    being found in possession of power supplies, capacitors, voltmeters and ...... oscilloscopes is going to land me in the Joy.

    I'm being very afraid!

    I heard lecturers talking in the eng building just 30 minutes ago talking about the increase of robberies talking place there. They were saying something about computers being stolen. Sounds odd to me but I didn't stick around to hear anything else.

    It takes about 15 minutes to get to Dublin from anywhere in Ireland using a helicopter. Ok, maybe more than 15 but not much. (Thank you BubbleGum Club Helicruise!). So they could have the two copters together fairly quickly, regardless of where they are.

    The Garda helicopters and one plane are all based in Baldonnel and I'm not too sure that they have a plane.

    Since September 1997 they own a fixed wing Pilatus Britten-Norman BN 2T-4S Defender 4000 aircraft (that's the plane) and a Eurocopter AS355N Squirrel Helicopter.
    In 2001 the GASU (Garda Air Support Unit) also got an EC 135 T1 (another helicopter).

    The GASU is based in Casement Aerodrome, Baldonnel, Co. Dublin.

    So, does anyone know by now why the garda was at the Engineering building and if the choppers had anything to do with it?

    I heard that the engieering students were making robotic killer monkeys and that the Garda took them away to train them up in Templemore so they can be used against demonstrating students and trade unionists and other such peoples who do not deserve a voice or the right to protest and all such stuff..... Really!! I don't tell lies...
