Irish Nudism

So you want to strip off and go naked in Ireland? No problem - just be sure to do it in the privacy of your own room and only observed by consenting family and friends. Otherwise you might have a run-in with the law. But naturists take note - while nudism may not be legal, there are zones of toleration.
