A no swim notice has been issued until further notice for Clonea Strand.

A wastewater discharge has led to a potentially high bacteria count and Waterford City and County Council have advised that swimming in this water may cause illness.

Waterford Sinn Fein TD Conor McGuinness said: “I have contacted Waterford City and County Council, Uisce Eireann and the Environmental Protection Agency for an update – shortcomings in investment in wastewater treatment for many years is causing havoc along our coast. Government needs to get serious about funding adequate treatment facilities.”
