A deadly species of jellyfish has returned to Irish beaches this week - just as the hot weather arrives.
A number of sightings of a Portuguese Man o’ War have been reported by residents in the west, with the venomous jellyfish being spotted along the coastline, Galway Beo reports.
It was seen on Clare beaches such as Fanore and at Lahinch, a popular surfing beach and draws thousands of families, children and young people who take lessons each day with the various surf schools there.
