Brief History of Irish Naturism

Did you know Irish Naturism as a movement commenced in 1963 with the creation of Irish Naturist Association (INA)? That naturist activists were receiving death threats in those early years? Or that Ballybunion in Co. Kerry nearly got its own nudist beach in the last century? And the 34th International Naturist Congress, a gathering of over 100 delegates from 30 different countries flying over from all the continents, was held in Drunshambo, Co. Leitrim? Last but not least... how it took more than 50 years for naturism in Ireland to become fully legal?! On 17th March 2021 former INA President Pat Gallagher elaborated on those and other particulars of Irish Naturism throughout the last decades in a public webinar. This is now the adapted version as a video presentation. For more info: info@
