Since lockdown began, the Irish Naturist Association has seen a big increase in its membership so Paula spoke to Pat Gallagher from the association to find out why that might be the case.

Pat isn't sure what the exact reason is, but thinks the 31% increase they've seen in recent months probably has something to do with the nice weather we had when the pandemic first took hold.

It could also be that people were stuck at home an finally had the time to look into it. The main aim of the Irish Naturist Association is simple - to do all the things you enjoy doing, only without clothes on.

They hold both indoor and outdoor functions, and make sure that their outdoor events aren't in areas that are used by everybody else, or "textiles" as they call them, so as to not cause any offense!
