Did you see the solar eclipse?
The solar eclipse has reached its peak in Ireland just after 7pm.
A NEAR-TOTAL ECLIPSE took place on Wednesday evening and thousands of people across Ireland gathered to watch it.
People watched from all over Ireland and other parts of Europe, with many gathering at locations such as Phoenix Park in Dublin and Queen’s University Belfast to get a good view of the phenomenon.
