Bathing prohibition lifted at Lahinch after pollution
The restrictions had been introduced on June 6
ON the advice of the HSE, Clare County Council has lifted the bathing prohibition, which was in place at Lahinch beach.
A bathing prohibition was in place at Lahinch, from Thursday, June 6.
Following additional investigative sampling and on the advice of the HSE, Clare County Council has today lifted the bathing prohibition at Lahinch.
The restriction had 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 was removed until the water quality improved.
