Two beaches in north Dublin have been issued with "do not swim" notices over poor water quality.
A warning against swimming at Burrow beach in Sutton, which was issued on Tuesday, remains in place due to an emergency overflow at Mayne Bridge pumping station due to electrical/mechanical failure and discharge to waters.
The beach remains open to the public, but people are asked to respect the "do not swim" notice.
In Balbriggan, a similar notice was issued on Wednesday for Front Strand, which is expected to remain in place for six days.
The notice was issued due to a deterioration in water quality caused by suspected impacts of animals/birds and contamination of urban surface waters discharging into bathing water.
