    Hey folks,

    Just wondering if anyone could help me

    2 dark green (looked to me, a lowly pleb, like military) helicopters were flying over Tallaght today. They flew quite quickly in the direction of the hospital, but within about a minute (so doubt they landed) flew back towards the Bank of Ireland and off into the distance.

    Any idea why they were there?

    Just curious really

    Dave

    Dave, given that Tallaght is about 2 minutes flying time from Baldonnel, they were undoubtedly just that, a couple of the Air Corps finest out for a bit of training. They were probably back in time for lunch. :D
