Disappointment After Do-Not-Swim Notice At Clare Beach Results In "Noticeable Drop-Off" In Footfall

Business owners and tourists are expressing deep disappointment, after a do-not-swim notice put in place at a west Clare beach has led to a "noticeable drop-off" in footfall locally. Clare County Council has erected red flags at Spanish Point & White Strand Miltown Malbay, on the advice of the HSE, following the detection of high levels of bacteria in bathing samples at both locations.
