Do not swim notice issued for Malahide beach

Michael Bolton

A Do Not Swim notice has been issued for Malahide Beach following an overflow at the Malahide Waste Water Treatment Plant.

The decision was made in consultation with the HSE.

The notice will remain in place for at least three days. Resampling of the water is being arranged, with results likely to be received later this week.

While the beach is still open to the public, beach users are asked to respect the ‘Do Not Swim’ notice as it has been put in place to ensure that the health of bathers is not compromised.

Members of the public can check for water quality at any of the monitored bathing waters in Ireland in advance by accessing the EPA website or checking the notice board at the entrance to each beach.
