Temporary prohibition notices have been put in place at three Dublin beaches until Monday, 3 July.
Swimmers have been advised not to bathe at beaches in Killiney, Seapoint and Blackrock in south Dublin this weekend due to high levels of bacteria.
Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council issued a temporary prohibition notice on Thursday evening that is in effect until Monday, advising swimmers not to bathe in the water due to high levels of Enterococci & E. Coli.

The prohibition notice comes after a similar notice was issued by Dublin City Council for Dollymount Strand earlier this week.
By the sounds of the weather forecast, this weekend won’t be ideal for jumping into the water anyway, with typically all over the shop conditions promised across the country from Friday right through until Monday.
Good old Irish summer, eh?
