The council said the measure is due to urban wastewater and stormwater overflows, which pose a risk of polluting bathing water and creating a health risk. “Claremont Beach and Velvet Strand Portmarnock remain open but beach users are asked to respect the ‘Do Not Swim’ notice as it has been put in place to ensure that the health of bathers is not compromised,” a statement from the council reads.
