Last call for large flight information board at Dublin Airport

It has greeted many of us when we arrive at Ireland's largest airport - but it will soon disappear.

The large flight information board in the departures area at Dublin Airport's Terminal 1 is being removed over the next four weeks to be replaced with 15 information screens.

DAA says the change is part of an overall programme to modernise the terminal, which is more than 40 years old.

WATCH: The Northern Lights certainly put on a spectacular show last night

The Northern Lights put on spectacular show for parts of the UK and Ireland overnight.

The Aurora was seen across large parts of Ireland, Scotland, northern England and Wales.

It is caused when solar particles are thrown out into space and collide with the Earth's magnetic field.

Forecasters say the current positions of the Earth and Sun may give us a number chances to glimpse the lights over the next few weeks.

As well as the time of year, a "coronal hole" near the Sun's equator had aligned with the Earth and was sending a burst of high-speed solar winds to strike the planet.

POLL: Do you want a general election in November or Spring?

As Taoiseach Enda Kenny is set to unveil party of Fine Gael's manifesto this evening - speculation is rife that a November election could be on the cards.
