Jet-Fighters Over Ireland?

Are thier foreign Jet Fighters over Irish Airspace?MAbye someone else has heard them.

Last Tuesday night at around 9:30pm,Westmeath.
Mabye someone else here heard it as well or on a different occasion. A loud rumbling noise started off in the distance and grew louder over the next minute or 30 seconds or so. It continued to to reach a very high noise level with the area around almost vibrating before peaking with a very clear "whoosh" sound as the plane passed over head. I've heard Fighter Planes before and it was the same noise . There was several other people there with me at the time and we all agreed it was not a helicopter/civil aircraft. I dont know of any flyable planes the AirCore has that would produce the same affect.
Since 9/11 I heard some other people mention hearing other strang aircraft. I didnt really pay much attention though.
Is thier meant to be foreign military aircraft flaying over Irish airspace?I knew there was some transport planes and stuff but this was very fast and different.SOmeone else here probly knows more.
