LIMERICK holiday makers and weekend visitors to Kilkee have been advised that a swimming ban at the County Clare beach remains in place.
Clare County Council, following consultation with the HSE, says that restrictions on public bathing at Kilkee beach will remain in place this Thursday, June 9.
On Wednesday afternoon, the advisory notice was issued by the local authority after elevated levels of microbiological contamination were recorded in a routine bathing water sample in Kilkee.
As a result, bathers are being advised not to swim in the sea at Kilkee.
Testing of the bathing waters has taken place again today (Thursday, 09/06/2016).
Preliminary test results indicate that the event may be over.

However, and until final confirmation is made, the ban remains in place.
An end to the restriction will be considered following additional water testing on Friday morning.
