Hope not

There's a coastguard helicopter hovering over Galway city centre (and I think there's search-boats out on the bay). Hope someone hasn't fallen in.

Last time the helicopter appeared was just before Xmas day, someone jumped into the Corrib.

Valentine's tomorrow. Depressing times for the lovelorn?

No, they're looking for the shit load of coke that went off course on it's way to Cork:p

the love lorn and others are experiencing a greater incidence of depression.
suicide has increased by 20% in recent years,
debt worries and other pressures are the main causes.

it's always worth talking it through with another:

Might be an exercise. They used to practice winching operations off the Aran Islands ferries. INLI people are volunteers so Sunday might be a good day to do it.

lets hope its a rescue at worst.

Someone seen going into the river at Salmon Weir last night (fell or jumped?). Body found this morning, but had been in the water for > week. Search continues.
