Gives lie to the line that Ireland would be a beautiful country if we could only put a roof on it.
Not many can deny that sunrises and sunsets in Ireland are too often spoiled by blankets of cloud that seem ever present at times, but on occasion, they do make for stunning sights in this part of the world.
Maybe it’s because they’re rare that we like talking about and taking photos of them as often as we do and subsequently post them to our Instagram accounts as quickly as possible.
Irish people like to do that a lot, as it turns out, so much so, that according to On the Go Tours, sunrises in Cork and Dublin are amongst the ten most popular sunrises on the app.
Most popular is not to say the sunrises and sunsets ranked below are officially the best (a completely subjective matter, of course) but you’d be hard to find residents of the capital or the ‘real capital’ who’ll dispute their places here.
