DEDICATION CEREMONY
The Airshow was dedicated to the memory of Sgt Paddy Mooney, Cpl Niall Byrne, Capt Mick Baker, and Capt Dave 0’Flaherty, who were tragically killed in a helicopter crash in Tramore, Co Waterford, on July 2 last year.  These men took part in many previous air shows where they demonstrated air sea rescue skills.  There was a minute's silence for the men and a wreath laying ceremony by an Air Corps helicopter as this is the first anniversary of their deaths.
