The Taoiseach has pledged to intervene amid ongoing concern about the safety of bathing water on Kilkee beach.
Clare County Council says it’s not yet in a position to lift a prohibition order for swimming on the area, following analysis of water samples taken from the bathing water there earlier this week.
It’s after a malfunction of Irish Water’s sewage infrastructure over the weekend, with a number of similar incidents having occurred in recent years.
