The Daily Poll

Poll: Is it warm enough to go swimming in the Irish Sea?

Or the Atlantic? Or your local lake?

TEMPERATURES REACHED THE mid-to-high teens today – and we all know what that means…

Packed beaches, covered in pasty-skinned Irish folk – desperate for the summer to begin, and unwilling to wait for a properly-warm day to take the plunge.

This evening’s RTÉ News broadcasts featured a report from Sandycove in Dublin – populated (as usual, of an Irish springtime) by poor, shivering children saying things like “it’s alright when you get in”.

What do you think?

Poll Results:

No. Nay. Never. (4006)

I'm waiting till August. (2725)

Let's take a dip. (2532)

I'm flying to Florida. (986)
