The quality of bathing water in Ballyalla Lake, near Ennis, has been described as 'poor' by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
Nationally the number of beaches and lakes designated for swimming which failed to meet minimum EU water quality standards more than doubled last year. Last year was the worst for bathing water quality since records began in 1991, and was the first year that none of the State’s designated bathing lakes failed to meet the minimum standards.
Ballyalla Lake was among nine of the State’s 131 beaches and lake shores that failed to meet clean-water standards. Other Clare bathing spots monitored by the EPA include Ballycuggeran, Bishopsquarter, Cappagh Pier, Spanish Point, White Strand (Miltown Malbay and Doonbeg), Lahinch, Kilkee, Fanore and Mountshannon. The water quality in each of these locations was deemed to be good.
