Do you head in to Dublin to watch the world cup matches? The matches are on at the perfect time to head into one of the sports bars...
N yeah i tried surfinng too but i was a disiaster! The one east coast beach that shocked me was Brittas bay in Wexford, on a really good day that place rivals any beach in the world!
I think you've got either the beach or the county wrong man, haha... Brittas bay is in Wicklow. Maybe you mean Tramore beach in Wexford? Either way, they are both really great beaches! Brittas could pass as a Caribbean beach on a good day, but it often gets very crowded... Tramore is in the same boat.
The nicest beach I have come across in Ireland is Keem bay on Achill island... it is like, horse shoe shaped, mostly quiet and secluded with crystal clear blue water. When I was swimming there a few years ago I was joined by a dolphin too, very cool.

I spend a lot of my time in Dublin because my college is there, but for sports I mostly go to a more local bar which is owned by Brian Peters, promoter of Bernard Dunne and I think now Andy Lee and John Duddy too... always good to see the fights there (except Dunne's last outing, haha). Brian was pretty down about Bernard after the Martinez fight, he was telling my Dad... he reckons Dunne was too complacent. But, he has big plans for the future for other Irish fighters, especially whatever ones will be boxing in Beijing at the Olympics next year. Think there will be a lot of "turn pro" offers made, hehe.
