I believe it's getting nailed by your missis with a strap on. However maybe it means something else in this context..

Lifeguards needed on piers next.

Just wait until global warming sees Great White sharks in Irish waters - that will clear out the beaches or maybe not.

The issue here is parents letting their children, who are no strong swimmers, unsupervised in the sea.

Maybe they're using a false name and her real name is Peigín.

Just like I am now, listening to the same story over and over and over and…………

Lifeguard patrolling the beach 24/7/365 and hope everyone can read

Mervyn Skidmore

Charge all beach goers entering that beach to pay for the lifeguards.

crazy 88

Has Katie left the building??

zell12

The entire nation is sighing a collective groan listening to this

Furze99

Does she not understand that it's the lifeguards that put up the red flags????????

SEPT 23 1989

if there was nobody swimming there on a hot day

did that not tell you something?

KaneToad

Why didn't someone tell me that this body of open water, that I know nothing about, wasn't safe for me to swim in?

A refund policy if someone drowns.

She's hegging in a corner somewhere

Why wasn't this woman more careful with her family - always somebody else to blame - Waterford County Council escaped a bullet here.

zell12

If they'd closed the beach, this one would've knocked down the barrier with entitlement

Mervyn Skidmore

Would love if they closed the beach now.

pc7

ffs if they closed the beach they'd be on giving out.

NIMAN

Why thank God for putting people there to save the kids, but not curse him for letting kids get into trouble?

You can't have it both ways if you believe in the cloud God.

I’m beginning to think that the kids were just trying to escape from that annoying woman!

Hopefully a water safety lesson will have been well learned.

crazy 88

You'd swear there's a law she's about to quote to show it's not the responsibility of parents to supervise their children while they're in the sea

Ally Dick

Ethnic minorities with feral children?

mojesius

Jaysus we live on an island in an OCEAN with thousands of Kms of coastline and hundreds of beaches and this wan wants big flashing red signs and sirens up everywhere to warn about potential dangers of the ocean. How about TEACHING your kids how to swim properly from a young age and the importance of respecting open water!

The mammies sound like they're after a claim for PTSD or negligence.
