Beaches at Rush now have a Do Not Swim notice in place as a precautionary measure to protect public health

Swimmers, dippers and other water users are being invited to share their views as part of this year’s process to identify designated bathing areas across Fingal. From sea swims along the coast to dips in rivers and lakes, swimming is an important part of life in Ireland. Each year, local authorities are required to identify bathing waters so they can be properly monitored and managed. These designated locations are assessed for water quality, public usage, and safety, helping to ensure they remain suitable for swimming.

Due to an Uisce Éireann Irish Water sewage emergency overflow at Malahide Beach, a Prohibition  “Do Not Swim” notice  has been put in place with immediate effect and will remain in place for 5 days.
