Two Irish beaches have been deemed unsafe to swim in for two different reasons.
Mayo County Council issued a safety warning for Carrowmore Beach Louisburgh with a 'Do Not Swim' notice issued.
The County Council said that this notice follows 'results of water samples received' at the beach.
"Resampling will take place and the notice remains in place until water quality improves," Mayo County Council said.

Cork County Council also issued a safety warning to people on a Facebook post, which said "Do Not Swim' at Coolmaine Beach.
"Coolmaine beach is considered unsafe for swimming and bathing due to the presence of estuarine channels and hazardous conditions, including currents, sudden changes in depth and deep water near the shore.
"Whilst there is no change in the water quality of this beach no bathing water sampling will be conducted by Cork County Council, Environment Directorate for the 2025 season due to health and safety concerns.
