There was no chance to see the conjunction of Saturn and Jupiter tonight as cloud interrupted the view.

Winter Solstice, December 21st - Blue Hour in Ireland after Sunset
Written by Darren McLoughlin
Blue Hour in the West of Ireland
The shortest day of the year has arrived in Ireland and the winter solstice occurred at just after 10:00 today, December 21st.
From here, the winter keeps on for many weeks until the first day of spring but along the way, every day the day length increases by just a little.
Here, in the west of Ireland blue hour ushers in the night; the last remnants of daylight fades lower in the sky as cloud builds to obscure the last warming glow from the western sky.
