Anyone else hear a foghorn going in the early hours this morning (around 5:30)? Didn't think they were going anymore.

Ship-based foghorns, apparently.

Had a bout of insomnia last night and heard it. I live near Drumcondra. Didn't think much of it other than "Wait a minute, what was that? Sounds like a foghorn. I wish I could sleep."

They're frequently sounded when it's foggy (duh). Hear them all the time out D5 way.
