Actually mustn't be Aer Corp as it was dark green not gray

Apparently there is a military show in Wexford Town today maybe it's something to do with that

Air Corps helicopters have been green since 2006 with the introduction of the AW139 and AC135. Grey was phased out with the retirment of the Allouette (2007) Dauphin (2007) and Gazelle (2005).

No idea.

It may have been the EAS helicopter responding to a call out from Athlone. It may have been conducting a training flight or have been on an operational tasking.

A quick Google brought this up http://www.visitwexford.ie/events/wexford-military-show-0 so perhaps they were putting on a display?

The helo was medevacing an injured person from an RTA on the Kilmore road off the N25 to Rosslare yesterday afternoon.
