THE bathing water samples taken at Ballybunion North and South Beaches in recent days have tested negative for any bacterial matters, so the swimming prohibition notices are being removed with immediate effect .

Tests on water quality taken at Ballybunion north and south beaches (known locally as the Men’s and Ladies beaches) on Monday last indicated an elevated level of ecoli associated with bacterial input from the catchment associated with the very high rainfall on Saturday last.

Therefore notices that bathing was prohibited at the beaches were erected on Wednesday. However, the results of tests taken on Wednesday morning have indicated it’s safe to swim at both beaches again.

“We wish to thank the members of the public for their patience and co-operation in observing the signage at the beach,” said a Council spokesperson.
