Sounds like you were lucky enough to have seen a red kite, google it and see if the flight photo is the same as the bird you saw.
tried to post an image but failed - will post you one..

massive bird you say? only massive bird I can think of is the Grey Heron, very common in ireland but your description doesnt match with their appearance,
from the wing patterns I would say its a Buzzard, they are making a comeback in Ireland in recent years, a beautiful bird in its own right, google common buzzard I think and you should see photos of their plumage in flight
Thanks B, it was deffo a red kite from the pic you mailled me 
ya should try looking where your going
