The stunning sky above Limerick, as captured by Sean Curtin of True Media
A RED sky above Limerick as the sun set this Monday night caused quite a stir on social media.
Limerick photographer Sean Curtin of True Media captured the stunning sky above the city in his snap, taking in the Curragower falls and boardwalk.
