Music played at the ceremony was composed by an honorary Limerick man.
Patrick Cassidy, although not a Limerick native, lived here for years, graduated from University of Limerick and his mother, sister and brother are all based in Limeirck.
His piece entitled 'Proclamation' was performed by violinist Patricia Treacy from County Louth.
On having his composition performed at the inauguration, Patrick said it was a huge honour. ‘I was delighted when Patricia let me know that she would be playing ‘Proclamation’ at this historic event. She previously performed this piece during the 1916 Centenary Commemorations when President Michael D. Higgins laid a wreath to honour those who fought and died in the Rising at the Garden of Remembrance in Dublin.’
