A do not swim notice has been issued in Skerries, Dublin after e.coli was discovered on one of the popular beaches there.

Ireland News, Ireland Headlines

Sea swimmers are being urged by Fingal County Council to avoid swimming on the South Strand beach after the diarrhoea causing bacteria was found in the water there.

“Preliminary e.coli results were higher than the acceptable limit. The likely cause of the higher than normal levels of e.coli is the impact of animal and birds as well as contamination of urban surface waters. Higher levels of bacteria are usually short-lived and most bathers are unlikely to experience any illness.

The Captains, another diving spot, would also be affected by this, so it’s best to avoid them completely.
