Sea Secession was an advert otherwise every pub and club could include whats on —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.42.7.166 (talk) 20:06, 11 July 2010 (UTC)

A long, unwikified paragraph was plonked at the head of this article by anonymous user 89.241.3.65 on 8 Oct 2006: I have moved it further down. The whole article could benefit from some TLC, to give it a more uniform tone... -- Picapica 23:44, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

What is "TLC" ? If you wish to reply leave the comment in "My talk" not here. I'll take a look at it now.Osborne 10:03, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

Hi, I am not an editor for Wikipedia, but it looks like someone has tampered with this page. For example:

"The by-Pass is of great importance for people wishing to avoid the hole that is bundoran and to travel safely to the cultured and fabulous town of Ballyshannon -Everything that is good about Ireland"

is derogatory to Bundoran, as 'a hole' is local area slang for something that isnt good, and thats a polite way of describing it!

---

As a resident of the town, I also removed a terrible line that read that Bundoran was a great place to drink infront of drunken kids! Who in their right mind would write this!

Ulster to the north
Ulster is more to the east - although we tend to think,of it as to the north. In fact the most northerly part of Ireland is in Donegal! - I leave it to others to rewrite this section. Osborne 10:09, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

Bundoran is in fact in Ulster. You are wrong in thinking that Norhern Ireland is called Ulster, ulster is a province that Donegal is a part of, that Northern Ireland also happens to be a part of. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.192.213.186 (talk) 19:48, 28 July 2011 (UTC)

Aye, I agree with the above comment. County Donegal is as much a part of Ulster as Belfast is! And that's from me, a native of East Donegal! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.77.59.192 (talk) 01:27, 24 April 2012 (UTC)

Flora and Fauna
I will start to write a section with this title. However I cannot write much - only the algae (my speciality) so I hope others will write the rest.Osborne 10:12, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

Vandalism
Someone has destroyed this well-developed page by inserting crude words i.e Large Penis. Could someone please return it to is former state. Please.--MaxPride (talk) 14:00, 25 April 2009 (UTC)

Tourist brochure etc
This fairly good article needs to be watched; it keeps getting peppered with pov, non-notability, tourist brochure tosh and so forth. Put it on your watchlist! Sarah777 (talk) 13:00, 7 August 2009 (UTC)

Bundoran Beach
BUNDORAN BEACH For almost two centuries people have flocked to Bundoran beach on hot summer days. The tradition of bathing boxes began in Victorian times. They were primarily used by members of the gentry, who were reticent about undressing in public. The boxes were pushed, on wheels, to the water’s edge and the customer entered the box through one door, put on their bathing costume and stepped out another door to enter the sea. The box remained there until the bather was finished, dried off and fully clothed again. The bathing box was brought back to its original position on the beach, ready for the next client.

Stationary bathing boxes were introduced in the early 1900s. They proved more amenable and cheaper to the public. In the 1920s, Mrs Elizabeth Travers and her brother-in-law, Bilshie Travers (uncle of the famous Bilshie Travers, former Lord Mayor of Bundoran) hired the boxes from the local Council. For 3 old pennies a customer hired a bathing costume and for 6 old pennies they could hire “the whole package” which consisted of a bathing cap, costume and towel. The bathing costume was washed in a bucket and hung up to dry until the next customer came along. A familiar sight on the beach in the 1950s and 1960s was “The Duck”. This was a former British Army amphibious craft that ferried tourists out onto the Bay. It was operated by the Rooney family. Despite being prone to breakdown, it was a major attraction at the time.
