A Bundoran based elected representative has moved this morning to ease concerns over swimming restrictions that have been imposed on a number of beaches in Donegal.

The warnings have been posted on the beaches.ie website and will remain in place as a result of forecasted heavy rainfall which can result in pollution due to surface water run-off.

Before the restrictions are removed samples will be taken with the HSE contacted for testing.

Among the impacted beaches are Bundoran, and Downings.

Councillor Mick McMahon says the swimming restrictions are standard practice when a large amount rainfall follows a long dry spell of weather.
