Dubliners are being warned that there is a ban on swimming at Burrow Beach in Sutton and Front Strand in Balbriggan due to harmful bacteria.
Fingal County Council have confirmed that there is a "do not swim" notice up at Burrow Beach in Sutton after a power engine failure at a nearby pumping station. The engine failure at Mayne Bridge pumping station has caused "overflow discharge" to enter the water.
Bathers are being warned not to swim there due to a risk of illness caused by bacteria. The warning was issued on Tuesday and will remain in place until Friday, 16 June.
