An exhibition marking the release of records on life in Ireland a century ago has opened in Limerick.

Titled “The Story of Us: Census 1926”, the display uses contemporary documents, photographs and visual displays to illustrate information from the 1926 Census and bring the Ireland of the day to life.

The exhibition covers a range of topics including work and daily life, language and culture, sport, religion, gender and the social realities of a newly independent state.

It is open on weekdays from 9 am to 5 pm and will run until 16 October at the Civic Offices on Merchant’s Quay, Limerick City.
