MYSTERY surrounds a loud bang that was heard throughout a Limerick suburb on Monday night.
Around 10:30pm, a number of people posted on social media that they had heard a loud noise in the Dooradoyle area.
Residents of Ballyclough and Glencairin and as far as Father Russell Road reported the mystery sound with some people saying they heard one loud bang while others said they heard a number of them.
Anyone else hear a huge #bang in the #Dooradoyle area about 10 mins ago (22:33)? #Limerick

Councillor Daniel Butler said he had been contacted by numerous people to ask if he knew what the sound was.
Mr Butler told Limerick Live that it sounded like the noise was close by while also being everywhere at the same time.
Limerick Fire Service and An Garda Siochana confirmed that they did not attend any incidents in the area.
Facebook users in various parts of Dooradoyle said they heard the noise while trying to figure out what could have caused it.
Limerick City and County Council have been contacted to see if they can shed some light on the strange occurrence.
