Kilrush eggstatic over Easter surprise

It was an egg-credible sight. As locals in Kilrush awoke on Easter Sunday morning they discovered thousands of chocolate eggs hanging from trees, lamp posts, and shop door handles.

More than 5,000 eggs were quietly placed around the main square and streets of Kilrush in a stealthy early morning mission undertaken by the local Tesco store.

People making their way to early Mass or to the shop for the papers were eggstatic and couldn’t believe what they were seeing and weren’t sure how to react.
