    I've just been out to my back garden for a smoke, and I swear I saw a search light in the sky. I'm in Coolock now.

    Also, I was in Harry Byrne's on the Howth Road last night and thought I saw it then too, before I went in.

    Anyone tell me what it is?

    I do see when out on Clontarf Promenade so you are not imaging things.
    Someone in this forum said it was Bondi Beach nightclub in Stillorgan.
    It might be, I don't know but I'd definitly say it's a nightclub somewhere

    Saw it today from the RDS and also from Templeogue. Its 2 beams. I have seen them many times in the last month. They move quite a bit in a set straight line

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,894 ✭✭✭Poxyshamrock

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,092 ✭✭✭ParkRunner

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,048 ✭✭✭Gaspode

    Defo not from that area, when standing on the platform at Drumcondra train station it looks like it is around the Smithfield area.

    To clear this up for everyone

    The search lights are from Smithfield Square from the Christmas on Ice.
    Christmas on Ice was cancelled earlier in november but dundalk icedome and a couple of other businesses sponcered it so its on again this year - started friday two week ago!!

    These are definitely the search lights in question - i live in smithfield square and see the damned things all evening!!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,234 ✭✭✭Malteaser!


    I was just about to start a thread about these asking anybody did they know where they were coming from.

    I live right next to the Phoenix Park and at first I thought they were for the concerts but they don't seem to be coming from the park.

    I saw them coming home from DCU as well, absolutely wrecking my head trying to figure out where they were from!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,514 ✭✭✭Rollo Tamasi


    Totally seems like Smithfield. I'm on Baggot Street and it looks dead West from there.....or maybe North West.....or South West....but it's definitely not East (aka the sea)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,284 ✭✭✭wyndham


    Another case closed.

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 41,926 ✭✭✭✭_blank_


    If you stand on O'Connell Bridge, they clearly aren't coming from Booterstown.

    At last somebody speaks sense! They are from Smithfield on Ice. There is also an ice rink in Booterstown and one in Liffey Valley, but neither of these have search lights over the city centre.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,062 ✭✭✭dlambirl


    I've already cleared this up on the last page but people havent looked back!!!

    ITS THE LIGHTS AT SMITHFIELD ON ICE - CASE CLOSED.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 41,926 ✭✭✭✭_blank_


    I think it might be that ice skating thing, in Smithfield it is.
