Low flying helicopters over Cork City prompt amusement and speculation

The defence forces confirmed the aircraft were taking part in a military exercsie.

The defence forces did not provide any details of the helicopters that took part in the operation. File picture.

Perhaps it is a sign of the times but the sight of three helicopters flying low over Cork City last night attracted plenty of curiosity. 

With lockdown in place leaving many hard up for entertainment, an evening's disruption was most welcome and three helicopters performing a number of low altitude patrols over the city was just the ticket.
