Luftwaffe attack on Neutral Ireland

Good evening all,
On 26 Auguast 1940 two Heinkel 111 aircraft attacked two targets in Co Wexford in Neutral Ireland. It was the only occasion in which a deliberate attack took place on neutral territory. The time was early post midday. Although the two Heinkels were flying low at times no markings other than the national marking were recognised.
Would anyone have any information on operations by the Luftwaffe on that day that would help to identify the unit responsible.
Many thanks
regards
Tony K
