Swimmers are being wanted over a temporary ban at a popular north Dublin beach after a sample taken showed conditions could be dangerous.
Fingal County Council published the temporary warning on Saturday night advising people not to swim at Velvet Strand in Portmarnock, Co Dublin for six days - up to August 4.
The temporary notice was issued by the council on Sunday due to a likely deterioration in water quality due to an electrical fault and power outage at a nearby wastewater pumping station.
