Flight EI-145 had just departed Dublin en route to Los Angeles when the crew reported the problem.
There were 252 passengers and a crew of 16 on board.
The crew of the Airbus A330-200 jet continued towards Shannon reporting an issue (fire warning and smoke seen) with one of the aircraft’s two engines.
The airport’s own fire and rescue service attended while units of Clare County Fire and Rescue Service from Shannon Town were also sent to the airport along with ambulances from Ennis and Limerick.
Additional units of the fire brigade from Ennis were sent to a designated holding point at Dromoland in case they might be required.
