    Don't know what the story is with them, seen them all over the place too. But, when I was collecting the young lad frm school in Clonard, I seen the lads taking all the cables back up. :confused:

    If they were 2 cables stretched across the road about 6" apart then it is a traffic survey, never heard of Zinc survey before.

    Saw them as well. They'd be going an insane distance of maybe half a kilometre to a kilometre long!

    back last year remember the warning of low flying aircraft over mullingar area for approx 1 week. It was a survey plane that was able to survey mineral rock in the ground.

    So the survey indicated a seem of gold/zinc and lead deposits in the ground in a vein from killucan to coole.

    the red cables are approx 10 meters apart and 2 massive machines on real wide tires connect to the cables and survey the ground in more detail.

    next step they bore test holes. they surveyed multy and coole before christmas with them wires and then tested with the bore holes .
