I counted 35 women and children queuing to use one toilet. There’s another one for the men and typical of Ireland nothing works and it’s vile.

There’s a cover charge of €4 to enter the car park. Seriously, how hard can it be for Wicklow County Council to spend a some money on its beaches? I know the usual wags will say we don’t get prolonged good weather to justify it, but seriously this is basic sanitation and hygiene. We’re not all animals that piss in the Dunes.

Fight.

Lime and Fancy, @ Wigwam, Middle Abbey Street, Dubl;in 1 (9pm, Free)

Nialler9 writes:

A brand new club night brought to you by pop music writer Jennifer Gannon and Cian McHugh, Lime & Fancy is a self-described mix of the “most day-glo of Italo Disco mixed with your faves from the early 90s & a dash of some 80s oddities served with a cute cocktail umbrella.

Their manifesto?

“Before Hotline Bling there was the Hotline with Tony Fenton. Before a time of songs shrouded in irony there was fun times with friends. Lime & Fancy is your magic door back to a time without judgement, when pop was the secret language of the heart…You are among friends – in the words of Mel & Kim: It only takes a moment to feel alright.”

Secretary of State for Northern Ireland Theresa Villiers and Taoiseach Enda Kenny at the British-Irish Council (BIC) Summit, Dublin Castle last month; Today’s Irish Independent front page.

Just us so.

A united Ireland, you say?

Slugger O’Toole writes:

Does anybody seriously think that a 56 % majority in favour of Remain on a 63% turnout translates into majority support for a united Ireland? That Northern Ireland outside the EU will produce “a seismic shift?”

“Europe” just isn’t that important in the North, unless it’s exploited as a new tune on the nationalist drum.

So the question the Irish have to answer now is: are you serious?

…If you don’t like the British negotiating position going into the Article 50 process, will you ask the British government to regard the Remain vote which included a fair minority of unionists as evidence which favours a border poll? Do you think the British would agree?

Anyone?

Are the Dublin party leaders serious about raising Unity in the Brexit negotiations or are they playing Dáil politics? (Slugger O’Toole)
