Life's a beach for lifeguards

There will be no lifeguards on Clare beaches this summer, unless an exemption is made in the public sector recruitment ban.

The Department of the Environment confirmed last night that the embargo will be enforced in all areas, even those who protect the county's beachgoers. Clare County Council iswaiting to hear if it can go ahead and hire lifeguards so that beaches around the county are safe for visitors to enjoy.

But unless the Department of Finance grants an exemption from the ban for this kind of public sector worker, beaches across Clare will be left unmanned.
