A 'Do Not Swim' notice has been issued this evening for Loughshinny Beach in north Dublin due to high levels of E.coli bacteria.
The popular beach, which is location between Rush and Skerries, is still open to the public but beach users have been urged to avoid swimming in the sea due to a high level of E.coli. High bacteria levels were found in a sample taken on 11 July.
According to Fingal County Council, the high result is likely due to contamination from dogs or other animals. The ban will be reviewed on 15 July when the water is sampled again.
