A Virgin Atlantic plane has landed safely after being forced to make an emergency landing at Shannon Airport.
The plane was travelling to Chicago from Heathrow when the crew made emergency radio contact with air traffic control in Shannon.
Local emergency services were put on standby.
Clare Fire Brigade has said says there was no fire in the plane's cockpit as had been reported initially.
The problem centred around a small amount of smoke coming from electrical wiring in the galley area of the plane.
At 12.49pm the Airbus 340 plane made a safe landing. None of the 156 passengers was injured.
