Fine weather for a day at the beach, picnics, rowing on the Liffey and sailing in Dublin Bay.
Beaches and parks were popular destinations for those making the most of the glorious sunshine. Sunbathing, sandcastles, picnics and ice cream cones are the order of the day in Dublin.
The picnic blankets were out as crowds flocked to the Trinity Regatta at Islandbridge. There were sea swimmers at Coliemore Harbour while those not taking to the water could watch the Dalkey Rowing Regatta.
