Gannets diving out from Dun Laoghaoire Baths

Out walking this evening and saw 5 or 6 gannets circling and doing a lot of diving about 60 or 70 yards out from the old baths .

I watched for a while but didnt see what they were after and of course no binocs when you need them .

Any one any knowledge on what they were hunting ?
