Brittas Bay

[2] Brittas Bay is in the civil parish of Dunganstown in the barony of Arklow on the southern coast of County Wicklow.

[3] There was a Christian settlement in nearby Three-Mile-Water prior to St Patrick's arrival in Ireland.

[5] A 17th-century smuggler and pirate named Captain Jack White operated from Jack's Hole, a secluded cove where he intercepted goods from British merchant ships and imported goods from France to the annoyance of Crown authorities who were thus deprived of customs revenue.

[6] Until the end of September 2012 Bus Éireann route 2 used to stop at Jack White's Cross numerous times each day.

[7] The stop at Jack White's Cross was subsequently reinstated in the route 2 timetable from 25 August 2013.
