    took a good stroll up gormanstown beach today,my 9year old son and his mate in tow and i counted 11 topless women in the two mile stretch we walked. The lads had a great laugh of course,being 9year old boys and that,but it got me thinking.Im sure there were plenty of parents today that didn't want their own kids seeing that,so is it time local councils took the European approach and designated topless/naked sections on our beaches?because plenty are already stripping off regardless,and probably offending some people.On the European beaches with nude sections it kind of polices itself,so it wouldn't cost anything.

    ...GOOD JAYSUS NO!!!!If a 9 year old seems the female breast, his eyes will fall out.

    You start a "cover the sin pillows" campaign. We need more shame and repression in this country.

    Topless sunbathing is to be strongly encouraged. It is a good thing. Due to the fact the nearest beach is an hours drive, I for one would welcome its introduction in parks, gaa grounds and all public spaces. Even in Tescos. Those disagreeing, while perfectly entitled to their opinion, are wrong. An upper weight limit might need to be considered though... and artificial, year round sun-lamps to encourage things when it's chilly.. feck the esb bill..

    Probably better for the kids to see real breasts than being confused by the silicon eruptions delivered by the internet when your back is turned.

    You are a boring conservative old fart. Nine years olds don't necessarily see female breasts as sexual or be traumatized by the sight of them.

    Sound like you have issues with the sight of women's bodies. Don't pass on your hang ups to your son.

    It's named after this man who local residents dedicated his home town to his name after his party was annihilated at the general election a few year ago.

    Take them down to the 40 foot instead, show them how the other half lives.
    Topless sunbathing is quite common in Ireland theses days & it's legality...or not is very subjective.

    Topless sunbathing is class. What the hell are you talking about?

    See it through your young lad's eyes. Think about it, if you we're 9 years old and your Dad was responsible for the banning of nude women on beaches you'd ****ing hate him. Don't be that guy.

    Never heard of a designated topless beach on the continent, so your kids saw twenty four or so boobs, have they never seen boobs before? if I were you I'd arrange counselling straight away but you may have to accept that they may never get over it :rolleyes:

    Worst thing about topless sunbathing is that it means no tan lines...
    Nice clean clear tan lines...

    totally agree. I was at Malahide beach last weekend, I stripped off bollock naked and swam in the water. I don't care what a bunch of conservatives have to say, it's a free country.

    If you're talking about nude beaches, are men bottomless? Its only fair everything is allowed out.

    As a woman I'm confused as to why people would get annoyed, ney outraged, if anyone complained about a woman breastfeeding yet when a woman is toplessly sunbathing it's somehow socially unacceptable. God forbid the poor kids would be emotionally scarred for life by the sight of breasts. I think anyone that found topless sunbathing offensive would have far too much time on their hands and not enough boobs in them, perhaps:D

    Nude beaches on the continent are NUDE - 100% nude. There is no designation for topless areas that I have ever seen. There were topless women on every beach i have ever been on on the continent.
