During the comical news package, a council official explained the social distancing rules and the ‘swim and go’ policy in place at the time, before the camera pans to Mr O’Flynn standing on the rocks in his swimming trunks.
Mr O’Flynn says: ‘With the weather like this and the lockdown lifted, there’s really only one thing for it. The message “Swim and go”.’
He then dives into the water before signing off the television package with ‘Paul O’Flynn, RTE News, glad to be out of my sitting room’.
