Kilkenny County Council, County Hall
Kilkenny County Council has implemented a temporary bathing prohibition at two prominent swimming locations in Kilkenny.
Swimming at The Weir and at Bishops Meadows is prohibited following advice from Public Health Officials, as a result of failed water quality tests which show high levels of bacteria present in both locations.
Kilkenny County Council has committed to carrying out further tests and investigate the cause of these higher than normal levels.

"Once we have identified the issue and tests have come back clear, we will reopen the Bathing Areas," a council spokesperson said.
"We apologise for any inconvenience caused," they added.
