That Bonnie Tyler girl was lying to us all the time.
Once again the Irish weather ruined what promised to be a very special occassion. We’re shocked. That’s grand though because we can all wait until the next solar eclipse comes around shortly… in 2026.
Here’s some of the best tweets from a fairly underwhelming morning that essentially involved a bunch of people staring into the sky. Cork and Galway seemed to get some pretty decent views while Dubliners were left underwhelmed.

There are no clouds in Galway this morning. And its sunny. This is stranger than the eclipse.

If you miss the eclipse for whatever reason, just get married. That should permanently block out the light.

"How Twitter reacted to the eclipse" articles should be live by now, right?
