Oliver Plunkett, a 17th-century Irish martyr, became Ireland’s first new saint in nearly 700 years after being canonized in 1975. In 1997, he was deemed the country’s patron saint for peace and reconciliation.

If it's big, open beaches you want then Laytown and Bettystown will be right up your alley. Running alongside both towns the whole stretch must be at least 5 kilometres long so there is loads of room for running, walking and playing.
For swimmers this is not one of the great locations. When the tide is out it's a bit of a trek and the brown sandy water can be a bit off putting for some. On the plus side the water was nice and calm when we were there and the wade in is gradual. With soft sand underfoot this is a good place for kids to splash and play.
Bettystown in particular is a popular location and it gets busy during the summer. Parking is allowed on a part of the beach aswell.
