BMI engine failure DUB ?
Fun and games going into DUB last night, on arrival our agent advised us that a BMI bus had an engine problem, a bit of smoke in the flightdeck, plus sparks were seen coming from an engine whilst on approach.
All info was passed to me first hand....anyone know anymore?

Landed 28 approx 8:45pm
Stopped on runway for a few minutes and then taxied onto the bravo taxiways, held there while the source of the problem was worked on. Eventually towed to the terminal.
Fire officer was interested by something in the number 2 engine, unclear what, but it was a 'burning smell in cockpit' incident
Even with the runway clear no take off or landings due lack of fire cover about 15-20 minutes of shutdown
Looks like one Aer Lingus diverted to Aldergrove and one Ryanair to Shannon.
