MEMBERS OF DUBLIN Fire Brigade are tackling a blaze at a derelict factory in Inchicore.
A large amount of smoke can be seen in the area.
Four fire engines, a turntable ladder and a breathing apparatus are being used in the operation.
Firefighters including a senior officer have been at the scene since about 2.30pm.
Brilliant day. The noise from the F18 was incredible. Comfortably watched from Shanganagh Park beach, kids in paddling, no huge crowds or traffic problems. Look forward to it every year.
@Donal Proctor: Expect some company next year so .
It was great. We got lashed on while waiting then 20mins later the sun came out. We ended up using the umbrella to hide from the sun. Great event. Looking forward to next year.
It’s certainly improved over the years. Well worth it.
The ‘UN concert’. The weight of typos throughout Journal articles is ever increasing and smacks of poor effort.
@Paddy Lynn: how much does a typo weigh?
@Dave O Keeffe: 1 milligrammar
Despite the numbers, it wasn’t overcrowded. A really good day.
Never would’ve thought it was that busy. Had plenty of space on the beach. Weather changed just at the right moment. Overall great day.
Is it just beyond this news reporting app to wire about anything that happens down the country ? Foynes air show was a success on Saturday but not a word or picture posted about it..
@Ollie Payne: Where the f**k is Foynes?
Great day in Foynes. The F18 was the highlight
Nice to see the Irish Air Corps winded up their little planes to join in the fun.
Massive crowd but lots of gardai and civil defence. Super vintage DC3 from Aer lingus and Saab/F18 was cool. Truly impressive jump from heli by Irish army parachute team. Great recruitment display. Love to see Army air force get some decent planes.
Blown away by the Saab Viggen awesome machine. Brought back childhood memories when the airshow was in casement aerodrome in the 80s they had a viggen at that too.
That SAAB Griffen was seriously loud. End if the world stuff! Great day out & weather was cracking too.
Did public transport rise to the occasion or was it normal Sunday service?
@Barney r: don’t know about Dublin bus but the dart service was excellent
@Barney r: It was a pitty they wouldn’t let Taxis down to the Dart station like the Busses !!
Both Public Service Operator’s
No Taxi spaces now on the Seafront they were painted over a year ago but Council are very slow to pass them in law …
I remember when it was in Salthill in Galway. A great day out until a few lefties objected to it and ruined it.
There was also a brilliant airshow on in Foynes Co Limerick the same day, what? Life in Ireland outside the pale? Who’dve thought……………
