Galway Bay fm newsroom – A temporary bathing water ban has been implemented for parts of the county.
The public is banned from bathing at Traught in Kinvara, An Trá Mhór, Indreabhán, Ceibh an Spidéil, Trá na bhForbacha and An Trá Mhór, Garmna.
It follows water sampling at these areas which showed elevated levels of bacteria.
The County Council says the likely cause is the very heavy rainfall over the past week or so.
Further samples are being taken today and the results will be available next Sunday, when a further notice will be issued.
