Testing conducted as part of Wexford County Council’s normal monitoring of bathing water quality showed elevated levels of E. Coli bacteria at Baginbun Beach where ‘Do Not Swim’ notices have been issued.
In a statement issued a short time ago, Wexford County Council said; “Following consultation with the HSE, it is necessary to issue ‘Do Not Swim’ warning notices at the above beach (Baginbun) in accordance with the Bathing Water Quality Regulations 2008 and in the interest of public health.”
Further samples were taken today (Thursday) and results are expected on Saturday at which stage the bathing notices will be reviewed. Wexford County Council’s Technical Team are investigating the matter.
