Temporary prohibition or advice against bathing notices are not usually erected outside the bathing season. Bathing restriction notices are legally required during the Bathing Season which runs from 1 June to 15 September. Such notices form part of the Bathing Water Regulations 2008 requirements and local authorities put them up after consultation with the Health Service Executive and notification of the Environmental Protection Agency. Some local authorities may voluntarily issue a notice outside the summer bathing season.
