AN ADVISORY not to swim in White Strand Doonbeg has been lifted.

On Saturday evening, Clare County Council confirmed the notice which had been in place since Thursday had been lifted.

Additional investigative sampling was undertaken with advice received by the HSE before such a move was made.

In accordance with An Taisce’s Blue Flag programme, the Blue Flag will be reinstated at this location.

Two of Clare’s nine Blue Flag beaches are currently deemed not safe to swim in. An Advisory Notice with advice not to swim remains in place at White Strand Milltown Malbay. Investigative monitoring is ongoing and will continue through the weekend and Clare County Council laboratory staff are continually liaising with the HSE.

A Do not Swim notice remains in place in Lahinch, which prohibits people from entering the water here. Investigative monitoring is also ongoing here and will continue through the weekend.
