More than 3,000 people turn out for re-enactment

More than 3,000 people gathered on a Co Limerick parish hillside yesterday for the biggest re-enactment of the death of Christ ever performed in this country.

Passion 2014 involved a cast of more than 30 local people, aided by another 40-strong support team from the parish of Nicker.

A major stewarding operation had to be put in place and shuttle buses brought people to the main scene at Nicker Hill.
