A group of Dutch tourist were left ‘gobsmacked’ when they stumbled across a couple allegedly having sex in Dublin’s busy city centre.

The group of nine had been touring Dublin during the afternoon with their Irish host when they spotted two people having sex in broad daylight next to O’Connell Bridge.

“The group was just stunned to see what was going on – it was 4pm they had gone for a run down by Phoenix Park and were coming up by O’Connell Bridge when they saw two people just openly having sex on the boardwalk.

“As liberal as the Dutch are with their Red Lights districts in Amsterdam - they at least close the curtains.”

Aishling said what struck the group more than anything was how those nearby reacted to the couple’s behaviour.

Aishling went on to echo comments made by host Joe Duffy about Dublin "being an unadulterated kip”, saying that after being away for 15 years, she did not recognise the city.

“Dublin is no longer a place to be proud off. I was just shocked to see how much it has declined – it isn’t somewhere that matches up with the rest of Europe anymore.

"It’s just so sad to see your home go like that.”
