During the Emergency period of World War II, several ÉIRE signs were constructed with painted stones to alert pilots from either side that they were flying over neutral Ireland.
A great website to show these locations has been created and is available at http://eiremarkings.org/
The Heritage Council have also just launched a new Eire signs map on www.heritagemaps.ie, which features a map of Lookout Posts (LOPs).
Check back tomorrow at 8pm for another built heritage article featuring the “Lookout posts of County Waterford”.
