A man has seen his photo go viral after sharing an image of a swimmer in the sea off the west coast of Ireland despite a swimming ban dating back three decades.
Local resident Lloyd Carr captured the shocking image which shows the very visible 'No Swimming/Cosc ar Snámh' sign with a person in the water marked by a yellow arrow.
The incident occurred at Strandhill in Co Sligo, which flaunts its natural beauty with its idyllic beaches. However, the rip tides and currents make it extremely dangerous to swim in the sea and the renowned beauty spot has had a ban on swimming for nearly 30 years, GalwayBeo reports.
