Just a heads up…. there appears to be a significant SAR operation off the Old Head of Kinsale at the moment. Waterford S92 headed direct and doing search patterns, AW149 direct from Shannon doing same nearby. The ICG B200 doing a search at 1250 ft. Also, strangely an AFT C172 also operating in the immediate area at 1000ft.
