"Garda Air Support Unit crew spotted that the fire on Bray Head has revealed an “EIRE” sign dating from the Second World War. "We see these around the coastline but haven’t seen this before."https://twitter.com/GardaTraffic/status/1025719405127327744 RTE reports that signs such as these were installed during the Second World War to warn airmen flying above that they were travelling over a neutral country. The 'EIRE' signs tended to appear in western parts of Ireland, and it is rare to discover one on the east. The signs, made mostly of stones, were installed by local volunteers during the war. There are over 80 of them spread around the country.
