I'd take your complaint to the establishment if i were you, there does seem to be more of them about these days.
Fupping hell! I'm sure glad those people swimming at the beach aren't...GASP!...urinating in the water. O RITE!
Its a complete fucking disgrace Did you know that the Irish sea is filled with animals far more toxic than Dogs I think we should organise a cull before sombody gets killed.
Check out the link
Irish Sea dolphins have five times EU toxin levels

Anyway every time I go sea swimming in Ireland at any time of the year I automaticaly involuntarily piss myself because the water is so cold. I dont think Im alone. So dogs swimming in the water wouldnt bother me at all. ha
Clearly this is newsworthy... Checked whether dogs swim at other blue flag beaches across the continent? As a regular visitor to the west and south-west coast of France, I'll tell you. They do. And they have some of the most beautiful, pure and clear waters anywhere around. Could it be that your fellow swimmers, human that is, are the problem? Or even perhaps that giant nuclear abomination across the Irish Sea? Whatever it is, leave Muttley and Rover out of it...
full of jellyfish due to salinity and the free press (kind you get in the morning for free) say its climate warning. Anyway the beaches now have yellow flags coz of the invertebrate monsters.
fking dangerous are jellyfish. wondrous creature though, if you don't ascribe to evolution, and only logged onto indymedia ireland for updates on "our way of life" and the global day of protestantism christian revivalism victory parade, don't read on.
The fking dangerous jellyfish is wondrous because it evolved so early on and stopped. It got to the "i can float", "i can reproduce", "i can eat" and then the real step on the ladder to global blue flag beach dominance - " i can sting " and they stopped. hundreds of millions of years and apart from some breeding of narrow varieties, though varying shape from the typical Irish sea orange squiddgey type to the mediterraean quite petite but nasty to the deep sea utterly humungous and lethal portuguese man o'war almost all jellyfish are very very closely related and they never evolved anything as significant as eyes, a backbone or an ability to navigate.
think about that.
like that? here is an archived report I filed on the OOOOOH! 11th of june on blue flag beaches in europe. The concerned bather of Seapoint may now consult the data, and I think we should organise a blue flag competition.

further to the last "human interest" comment
an article from today's irish independent.
i float - i reproduce - i eat - I STING! - i didn't evolve eyes, backbone or ability to navigate.
(from RTé)
Dún Laoghaire/Rathdown County Council has erected signs at four of the most popular swimming areas in south Dublin because of the presence of dangerous jellyfish in the water.
The council is advising people to stay out of the water and has erected signs to that effect at Seapoint, Sandycove, the Forty Foot and Killiney beach.
Three people were treated in St Michael's Hospital in Dún Laoghaire yesterday for jellyfish stings.
