    Can anyone recommend a kayak club that does lessons in North Dublin? I've tried White Water in Strawberry Beds but they've no spaces left on their beginners lessons.

    try www.irishcanoeunion.com
    i did a course with them in the Strawberry Beds last summer. They do plenty courses for beginners over the summer as that's when the water's a bit warmer and being a beginner you're likely to take plenty swims ;)

    from their site:
