#PolarPlunge - Near freezing temperatures didn't stop a troupe of hardy gardaí from leaping into the drink at the famous Forty Foot in Sandycove for their annual Polar Plunge yesterday (6 December).

As the Irish Independent reports, the 150-strong group - many in uniform or fancy dress - took to the water at the renowned Dublin Bay swimming spot as part of the Garda Síochána-sponsored event to raise funds for Special Olympics Ireland.
