A do not swim notice has been issued for Lahinch.
Clare County Council, on the advice of the HSE issued a bathing advisory notice for Lahinch on Wednesday. The restriction has been introduced after the results of routine bathing water samples showed elevated levels of bacteria.
In accordance with An Taisce’s Blue Flag programme, the Blue Flag at this bathing area will be removed until such time as the water quality improves.
It is the second time this summer that such a notice has been implemented for Lahinch. A bathing prohibition was in place for three days at the beginning of June.
