30 Irish beaches face swimming restrictions due to high bacteria levels after Storm Lilian.

30 beaches in Dublin, Mayo, and Clare face swimming restrictions due to elevated bacteria levels after Storm Lilian. Fingal County Council issued prohibition notices for Dublin's Portmarnock and Claremont beaches due to stormwater and urban wastewater overflows. Restrictions last up to five days; both beaches remain open, but swimmers are advised to respect the "do not swim" notice for their safety. Water quality can be checked on the EPA website at www.beaches.ie.
