The Irish Air Corps and Garda Air Support Unit spotted that a fire had exposed an old "Éire 8 sign" — a landmark dating back to World War — on Bray Head, in County Wicklow. 

During the war, the word Éire — which means Ireland in the Irish language — was carved into 80 headlands around Ireland to warn allied and German bombers that they were flying over a neutral territory.
