Famous faces of Limerick in front of the lens for Special Olympics

President Michael D Higgins and racing magnate JP McManus are among more than 50 people photographed for a Limerick exhibition.

After two decades behind the lens, photographer Cormac Byrne has fulfilled a dream to present the Faces of Limerick exhibition in the city’s Hunt Museum.

The 53 portraits include politicians, broadcasters, rugby players, former mayors, fashionistas and President Higgins, who was born in Limerick and lived there until age five.
