Bathing Restrictions Introduced In Lahinch

Bathing restrictions have been introduced at Lahinch.

On the advice of the HSE, Clare County Council has raised a Red Flag, after the results of routine bathing water samples showed elevated levels of bacteria in the water.

Run-off from the catchment after exceptionally heavy rainfall has been identified as a cause of the elevated levels of bacteria in the water.
