The number of swimming restrictions in bathing water in 2023 is triple what it was a decade ago, according to a Noteworthy investigation
The number of swimming restrictions imposed on Irish bathing locations this summer was triple what it was a decade ago.
Irish people are no stranger to rain, but Ms Chambers said it is the frequency of rain causing concerns in bathing water.“You've got to triple the number of days with restrictions, but the number of days of bans - because there actually was pollution - also tripled, and that's because of rain and that's not going to get any better.
“But on the other hand, it does stop people from swimming - vulnerable people, the young, the elderly, people who have illnesses.”Dollymount Strand and Sandymount Strand were among the beaches with the highest restrictions, despite both beaches being classified as having “good water”. This contradiction is because water quality tests only test for two types of bacteria, while swimming restrictions can be due to increased rainfall and other conditions that make the water unsafe.There are other nasty things that might be in there
