YESTERDAY, WE GAVE you the lowdown on the ‘Giant Granny’, a 25ft puppet being paraded around Limerick as part of its City of Culture celebrations.

Here she is in action.

The spectacle kicked off today and will continue until Sunday.

On Twitter, the reactions ran the gamut from amusement to unbridled terror. Here are some of the best.

There was widespread confusion.

There was terror.

There was gratitude that she wasn’t in Stradbally last weekend.

There was mild annoyance.

There was irritation at her dominance on social media.

There was hope that the Giant Granny and bus of potatoes could help improve Limerick’s image.

But mostly, there was awe.
