Warm currents bringing dangerous jellyfish to Irish waters

Swimmers have been warned about jellyfish on Irish beaches.

There have already been sightings of a dangerous species called Portuguese Man o'war.

Irish Water Safety says other types could be on their way due to the warm currents.

Giant jellyfish called the Lion's Mane are likely to arrive in the coming weeks and could stay in Irish waters until mid-September.
