The Guillamene Swimming Cove in Tramore remains closed to swimmers due to ongoing works.

The works, which have been ongoing since Wednesday morning, August 12th are due to be completed tomorrow, Friday 14th.

It is expected that the swimming area will reopen to the public in the evening time on Friday.

The Newtown and Guillamene Committee have confirmed this restriction on public access is to facilitate the installation of new ladders.

A boat launched on Wednesday morning at 8am via Newtown Cove to the Guillamene to carry the gear needed for the installation works.

Following this, it returned on Wednesday evening via the same route.

Swimmers are asked to be vigilant when swimming in the areas and to heed all warnings issued.
