This day 47 years ago – 20 July 1974 – a group of women protested the hitherto male-only bathing place of Forty Foot, Sandycove, Co Dublin.
Among those protesting were journalist Nell McCafferty, politician Nuala Fennell and poet Mary D’Arcy.
From then on, the area was shared. pic.twitter.com/r8KX34Ry8D

Both nearby Seapoint and the Forty Foot got the all clear for swimming today, but still no joy for Sandycove where no Swimming notices remain in place.
Good times.
