PUBLIC PARTICIPATION IN THE IDENTICATION OF 'BATHING WATERS'

PUBLIC NOTICE

PUBLIC PARTICIPATION IN THE

IDENTICATION OF ‘BATHING

WATERS’

South Dublin County Council is inviting public

participation in the identification of Bathing Waters

under the Bathing Waters Directive and the Bathing

Water Quality Regulations 2008 (SI No 79 of 2008).

The Directive requires that water quality at all

designated bathing waters meets stringent

microbiological standards in order to protect the

health of people who choose to bathe there. City

and county Councils are required under the 2008

Regulations to identify bathing waters on an annual

basis.

This consultation process provides the public with an

opportunity to:

• comment on existing designated bathing waters

with a view to continuation of designation,

• comment on other bathing waters not currently

designated but which may be considered for

designation.

Comments are invited from interested parties and

the closing date for submissions to South Dublin

County Council is the 28th July 2016.

Please address your correspondence to:

Public Participation: Identification of Bathing

Water and Climate Change, South Dublin County

Council, County Hall, Tallaght, Dublin 24.
