Derry bar gets big laughs after brilliant sign taking advantage of Irish heatwave

A pub and restaurant in Derry has gone viral on social media after a clever sign on their beer garden which takes advantage of the heatwave Ireland has found itself in this week.

Temperatures are set to hit 30C on Monday ahead of five straight days of sun, with thousands of people flocking to beaches, caravan parks and pubs to grab some outdoor pints.

And that's no different in Northern Ireland, where outdoor hospitality has been the norm for a while.

The Delacroix Bar in Derry city decided to have a bit of fun with all of that with their sign to try and attract customers.

It simply read "Come out our back and tan"

"Proper Irish wit - we love a play on words. Much funnier than jokes abut bums and farts." with another saying the sign was "hilarious and brilliant"

Thousands of Irish holidaymakers flocked to Dublin Airport on Monday morning as international travel finally returned.

The EU Digital Covid certificate came into effect at midnight, allowing the free movement of people around the continent for the first time in over a year.

It was a long time coming for many as there was a steady stream of people in Dublin Airport from early on Monday.

Flight desks at Ryanair and Aer Lingus were happy to welcome back so many people, with sun seekers heading off to tourist hotspots such as Barcelona, Marbella, Lisbon and Greece.

Inside the airport itself may have seemed different to many, with social distancing rules perplex screens in place.

Face masks had to be worn at all times, while dining inside the airport was table service only - a key change from pre-Covid times.

Despite extra measures, everything appeared to run smoothly, with security checks only slowed down by minutes.
