SWIMMING restrictions are now in place at three Irish beaches because of poor bathing water quality. 

They are Balbriggan Front Strand, Co Dublin; Lady’s Bay in Buncrana, Co Donegal and Tra na mBan, An Spideal in Co Galway.

The Environmental Protection Agency says issues including wastewater discharges, run-off from urban and agricultural lands as well as dog and other animal fouling have played a part in polluting the three spots.

But they added that wastewater upgrades are planned or underway to improve the poor bathing waters.
