    Hi I live in Dromcondra and I'm after hearing something like a jet plane.. It set off car alarms and people have come out of their houses to see what it was... anyone know?

    A couple of fighter planes heading south at very low altitude. Is there an air show on somewhere today?

    Those card board boxes can be very unstable. Better find a more enclosed doorway

    The suburbs are quiet too. Mayo and Kerry haven't invaded yet though.

    I love how indignant people always come in posting these, and yet know exactly which city centre is being talked about.

    The fact he said Drumcondrawould imply Dublin. Although what I find strange is, is the fact the OP lives in Drumcondra and didn't realise there was a game on.

    Isn't it cute that people keep confusing After Hours with Dublin City?

    I suppose it should be there, not sure how that's relevant to my point though.
