Ireland kicks off St Patricks day celebrations with a spectacular fireworks display, colouring the sky green.
Braving wet and muddy conditions, thousands gathered at one of Ireland's most historical sites to watch a fireworks display marking the start of St Patrick's day celebrations.
The Rock of Cashel in County Tipperary was the backdrop for the event, which forms part of a series of activities over the holiday weekend.
Around five tonnes of fireworks were used in the spectacle, including thousands of bright green explosives.
The feast day of the patron saint of Ireland usually takes place on March 17 but was moved this year by the Catholic Church as the date clashes with the second day of Holy Week.
