Advisory Notice Claremont Beach replaced by Do Not Swim Prohibition Notice

Please be advised that the following the Bathing Water quality results for samples taken on Tuesday 17th August, 2021 the advisory notice at Claremont beach is being replaced by a prohibition notice, for 48hrs, and the advisory notice not to swim remains in place for the non-identified bathing water at Malahide beach.

Malahide beach and Claremont beach met the standard for “poor” water quality. All other identified bathing waters met the standard for “excellent” water quality and the next scheduled seawater sampling date is Tuesday 31st August.

Resamples from Malahide and Claremont beach were taken this morning with results due on Saturday 21st August.

The Beaches remain open but beach users are asked to respect the notices as they have been put in place to ensure that the health of bathers is not compromised.

Members of the public can check for water quality at any of the monitored bathing waters in Ireland in advance by accessing the EPA website at www.beaches.ie or by checking the notice board at the entrance to each beach.
