UPDATE; A “Do Not Swim” notice posted at Duncannon Beach on Monday was lifted today (Thursday).
The latest sampling conducted as part of Wexford County Council’s normal monitoring of bathing water quality, showed elevated levels of bacteria at the Beach.
Following consultation with the HSE and EPA, it is necessary to issue “Do Not Swim” warning notices at the above beaches in accordance with the Bathing Water Quality Regulations 2008 and in the interest of public health.
Further samples have been taken and results are expected on Thursday, August 13th at which stage the bathing prohibition notices will be reviewed. In addition, the Council’s Environmental Technical Team are investigating the matter.
Wexford County Council advises members of the public visiting the above beach to please abide by the public notices advising against swimming.
