A ‘do not swim’ advisory notice has been issued for Burrow Beach Sutton and South Strand Skerries, both in Dublin. Fingal County Council has issued the notices to both beaches for at least three days “due to an increase in bacteria level results of bathing water samples” which were taken on Monday. If the re-sample results are satisfactory the ‘do not swim’ notices can be lifted on this date.

Demand for drinking water has increased very significantly in many supplies across Galway so Irish Water and Galway City and County Council is working to maintain supplies.
