Was out there earlier, just missed the landing and emergency.
A/C was Cityjet, with Air France livery, surrounded by service vehicles and two fire units.
A/C was straight on the runway facing in the 28 direction, NOT diagonally as previously mentioned.
All finished up around 23:30 as it was towed back to stand.

Breaking news had this to say
Emergency services were put on standby at Dublin Airport last night when a Cityjet plane got into serious difficulty while trying to land.
The flight from Paris experienced problems with its landing gear while approaching the airport just after 10pm.
The aircraft eventually managed to land safely with 88 passengers and four crew members on board.
The Air Accident Investigation Unit has launched an inquiry into the incident.

There is certainly more "space" beyond the threshold at the 10 end than the 28.
Either way, glad to hear it all ended OK.
