Following additional investigative sampling and on the advice of the HSE, Clare County Council has today lifted the bathing prohibition at Lahinch.
In accordance with An Taisce’s Blue Flag programme, the Blue Flag at the bathing area will be reinstated.
A red flag was raised at Lahinch Beach with a ban on swimming on Thursday on the advice of the HSE.
Results from routine bathing water samples showed elevated levels of bacteria in Lahinch which prompted the introduction of the swimming ban.
