A 'do not swim' notice has been issued for a popular Dublin beach as an investigation is underway.
Fingal County Council have issued a swimming ban for Claremont Beach after high levels of bacteria were found in the waters.
The notice was given today after results of samples taken on July 13th showed a significant amount of bacteria in the water.
The issue is still being investigated, however Fingal County Council have warned beachgoers to refrain from taking a dip as a precaution to public health.
Fingal County Council have consulted the HSE about the matter. They released a statement which said: “Following elevated bacterial results obtained from samples collected at Claremont Beach on 13 July 2026, a decision has been made to place a ‘do not swim’ notice at the beach. As a precautionary measure to protect public health, the warning signage has been erected at the bathing water location advising the public not to swim until further notice."
