    Robert Shaw who was once quoted as saying,"Can you tell me one great actor who doesn't drink?" lamented to Richard Dreyfuss, that he would like to give up alcohol, then he was furious when the younger actor threw Shaw's booze over the side of the boat. Shaw was bored out of his mind on the island despite some local gang members shooting out the windows of his rented house.

    I believe they're not an unheard of sight off our coasts. In fairness, it is the ocean, there's nothing to stop them from swimming up here, and plenty of seals to entice them.

    Just when you thought it couldn't get any worse for Ireland. Apparently there was a Great White spotted off the coast of Kerry a couple of weeks ago with suggestions that due to the increasing tempartures in the drift and the plentiful seal population, more and more sharks are likely to make Ireland a regular destination. Galway will be like the town in Jaws. If you scream shark we've got a full scal panic on our hands. It's July! We can't close the beaches, it's the festival season...

    I for one, welcome our new shark overlords...

    We have them already, for the last number of years, they are called Bankers and Politicians.

    He was constantly bickering with Richard Dreyfuss too to aggravate him until after they filmed the comparing scars scene, made their not liking each other until then seem more genuine. The making of that film is brilliant, some great stories on that set.

    I adore Jaws, it's probably my favourite film I've seen it countless times.

    +1
    It has to be up there as one of my all time favourite movies.

    Funny thing.....
    Around the same age I,
    Saw the original "Pirahna" and was terrified.
    Saw Jaws and became intrigued by sharks.

    Go figure(could it have been the movie quality:D)

    I think the impact the first Jaws movie had on people will never be seen again. I remember being on holidays and my brothers & sisters tentatively checking under the water with their face masks, to make sure Jaws wasn't there. It was a swimming pool I might add, but such was the effect the movie had on us kids.

    its fcukin freezing in this bloody country and anybody in the water no matter what time of year is must be nuts and deserves to be eaten by a big poxy shark

    the end.


    given the amount of raw sewage dumped into the sea off the west coast you'd be mad to go swimming in it

    as for the irish sea that is even worse for pollution, raw sewage, cellafield radioactive waste, and god know what else.

    Anyone who knows anything about sharks knows they cannot survive in Irish waters. Not because of the climate, but Ireland is home to the Great White's only known natural predator in the wild...
    Mary Harney!

    As St Patrick drove the snakes out of Ireland, Mary Harney ate Ireland's native shark population to near extintion...the only thing that saved basking sharks and even Fungi was a bout of acid reflux.

    I can't believe its not a South African rugby team. Actual great white sharks?!

    In Ireland... or off the coast; rather if I'm not mistaken?

    The Galway sharks are being classed as a new species, the Grand White Shark.

    I'm older than Minecraft goats.

    I swim in galway for about 30-40 mins at a time about 5 days a week. The water is fine swimming from Blackrock diving board according the latest EPA report.

    Its not too cold at this time of year either once you get used to it.
