An advisory notice means water quality \u201cmay be reduced\u201d. In this case, it\u2019s due to recent heavy rainfall. <\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph paywall \">\u201cWhile swimming is still permitted, bathers should take care,\u201d the council said. <\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph paywall \">The notices mean the water quality may temporarily deteriorate after rainfall, and there is an increased risk of waterborne illness.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph paywall \">Based on water samples taken on last Monday, June 15th, bathing water quality was rated excellent at all monitored locations, including Blackrock Baths, Coliemore Harbour, Corbawn Strand, D\u00fan Laoghaire Baths, Forty Foot, Killiney, Sandycove, Seapoint and Whiterock. This advice his since changed due to heavy rainfall.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph paywall \">There are also prior warning notices in place at all remaining bathing locations as a precaution. <\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph paywall \">Further water testing is under way, with results expected on Thursday, when an updated position will be provided by the council.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph paywall \">The warning comes as the country enters a spell of hot weather with Met \u00c9ireann forecasting temperatures of up to 29 degrees in some parts of the country. <\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph paywall \">Precautionary notices are also in place at other swimming locations, such as Lahinch in Co Clare and Gratton Road Beach in Co Galway, again, due to heavy rainfall.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"As temperatures rise countrywide, swimmers are being advised to avoid some locations in Dublin.
