Public participation is generally needed during May and June each year for the identification of identified bathing areas. The EPA has produced guidance for the public on what information is required to nominate bathing areas and how this should be assessed, both of which are available to download from the Resources page of the Beaches.ie website here. If your particular beach is not identified by Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council this could be for various reasons such as low numbers of bathers, accessibility issues, poor water quality or limited amenities.

Your views helped shape the direction that the final Local Area Plan.

Your written submissions / observations were reviewed and summarised, and recommendations were made in response to them in a Chief Executive's Report.
