Odd smoke plume over Ireland

[GM4AJK]

There have been plenty of videos of satellites re-entering (which was my first impression of this video) but the first 3 seconds (flash and audible bang) seem to suggest otherwise. A firework on a very windy evening?

This looks to me like the smoke from the firework being blown northwards.

The video is from Buncranna, Ireland on 3 October at 9.45pm. The wind was indeed from 175 degrees, so blowing towards the north at that time.

And you couldn't have a more obvious pattern of stars in frame to show which way is north!

Random fireworks going off are not unusual in the lead up to Halloween in Ireland.

Indeed. In Ireland fireworks are more of a Halloween thing compared to the mainland UK where they are more of a November 5th Bonfire night phenomenon.
