    Did anyone else see a black helicopter flying really low around east clare just now. when it was at my house it wasnt 7 ft off the ground I thought it was going to land in our back garden, then it went a bit higher, started going sideways very quickly did a little turnaround in the village and went back in the Shannon direction at 100 mph. WTF?!?!:confused::confused::eek:

    I spotted the helicopter just over the bypass at the Tulla Road exit. It was maybe 20/30ft above the road. Just hovering for a bit. Odd

    It might be the chopper that checks for illegal dumping/burning

    I don't think Google use a helicopter, they use a car and satellite photographs. If it's not the council checking for dumping/burning it could just be someone getting lessons

    If it was dark green, it was the Air Corps.

    They're filming an update of popular 80's TV show Airwolf and the pilot (*snigger*) episode is going to be about fighting drug dealers in Cloughleigh.
