Following the rise in surfing activities at the North Clare beach in the last decade, the Council has decided to introduce the bye-laws to make the area safer for walkers, swimmers and other visitors.
From July 1st, surf-schools will now all be located in one area on the Northern part of the beach, as opposed to along the promenade – that arrangement had sparked a number of complaints from the general public.
Lahinch Councillor Bill Slattery is hopeful that a fair deal has been struck for all
