Galway Bay FM Newsroom – Galway County Council has this afternoon (Saturday) lifted ‘do not swim’ notices on 4 Connemara beaches.
The local authority has removed swimming bans from beaches at Traught, Kinvara; An Tra Mhor, Indreabhan; Ceibh, an Spideil; and Tra na bhForbacha, Na Forbacha.
The notices were put in place last week after raised levels of bacteria were found in samples following heavy rainfall over the Bank Holiday weekend.
The county council says that recent samples show that that bacteria levels are now ‘well within safe standards’.
Results for a 5th beach – on Gorumna Island – are expected on Monday.
