    Dublin City Council have tweeted that Sandymount is closed too (can't post URLs because I don't have enough posts, but check their twitter account)
    Dublin City Council has placed a Temporary Prohibition of Bathing Notice at Sandymount Strand today, Wednesday, 16th July, 2014.

    Water samples taken at Sandymount Strand and Half Moon Swimming Club (South Wall) on Monday, 14th July, 2014 indicated that the water quality at these locations did not comply with the minimum standards set down for Bathing Waters.

    A further sample has been taken today the result of which will be available on Friday, 18th July, 2014. If the water quality is in accordance with the required standards the prohibition notice will be lifted.

    Dublin City Council has not, as yet, determined the cause of this event but is carrying out further investigations in this regard. Bathing water quality can be temporarily impacted by factors such as weather and tidal conditions, faecal matter from dogs and birds and temporary overflows from drains. This can result in a temporary fall in water quality.
