Is there hornets in Ireland? Never see one in my life until I think now. This thing was bloody huge & the noise off it was nothing like a standard bee or wasp

We have European hornets. One landed on the first beehive i had. Not having a clue it briefly occurred to me that it was an escaping queen beeā€¦so i tipped it into the hive. The bees immediately let a bit of a roar out of them and Iā€™d say the non-native was dispatched fairly sharpish. Glas would have been morally outraged

I think posted here before that one time I was working on a roof in a very precarious situation when out of nowhere this huge flying creature ( later discovered it was a hornet) came straight at me nearly causing me to fall off the roof. The think was was at least 2ā€ -3ā€ long
