Faces of Limerick is a portrait collection documenting the faces & personalities of Limerick who have shaped - and continue to shape - the city & county through their achievements, contributions and influence.

With 2 successful chapters to date - Chapter 1 in 2012 and Chapter 2 in 2025 - the portraits from the collection have been well-received, raising funds for 3 charities with strong presence & connections to the Mid-West - Special Olympics Ireland, The Irish MPS Society and Cliona's Foundation.

We are delighted that University Hospital Limerick has given this unique and valuable collection of portraits a home.

Cormac has since started work on a wider Faces of Ireland Archive which will be expanding over the coming months.
