Our readers’ best pictures of working life in Ireland

For the past few days Irish Examiner readers have been sending us their photographs of working life around Ireland. Here, we list some of the best photos we have received.

Following the success of Irish photographer Ross Magrath in the CBRE Urban Photographer of the Year competition, we asked our readers to submit their best shots of themselves or someone they know at work.

Ross's winning photo,  'Alley Check', shows a restaurant worker sitting on a doorstep while working.

The photos we have received in response are breathtaking.

"These three guys study, play, and teach music. They write as well, both as a band and independently. This was taken a year ago as they busked outside a music store in Cork City. As you can see it shows a child giving money, supporting the Arts."
