A temporary swimming ban has been issued at four Clare beaches.
Clare County Council has implemented swimming restrictions at Lahinch, White Strand -Miltown Malbay, Spanish Point and Kilkee following advice from the HSE.
Testing in recent days uncovered increased bacterial levels in the water which was caused by run-off from the catchment area after heavy rainfall.
