Bathing restrictions introduced at Lahinch due to pollution
Bathing prohibition introduced at Lahinch
ON the advice of the HSE, Clare County Council has raised a Red Flag at Lahinch beach this Thursday, June 6.
A bathing prohibition is now in place at Lahinch until further notice.
The restriction has been introduced after the results of routine bathing water samples showed elevated levels of bacteria.
Suspected agricultural activities/runoff in the catchment area is the likely cause.
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's estimated the restriction will be in force for at least the next five days.
