Women invade a swimming point traditionally for men only.

A group of protesting women invaded the Forty Foot, a swimming point traditionally for men only at Sandycove in Dublin.

The Dublin City Women's Invasionary Force protest on the shore with placards and took to the waters.

An angry male swimmer tells RTÉ News to leave the area.

There was a time when no self-respecting women would be in here anyway.

Another man points out that they do not rush into Dun Laoghaire golf club and say it should be open to everybody.

Women have been swimming at the Forty Foot ever since this protest.
