Work has begun to uncover and restore the âÃireâ sign at Howth Head, installed almost 80 years ago to warn fighter pilots not to drop bombs on Ireland during the second World War.
Once restoration is completed at the end of the summer, it will be the only Ãire neutrality sign visible to passengers flying into Dublin Airport.
In 1943, 83 Ãire signs, measuring 12 by six metres and picked out in stone and painted with limewash, were assembled on headlands along the coastline to indicate the Stateâs neutrality to passing pilots. Fewer than 30 remain intact, with just a small handful in a restored or visible condition.
