As a swimmer and a long-time advocate for safer bathing water, I want to see real-time water testing.
🙌Well at last, we’re going to see some progress on this. @dlrcc have been successful in securing €1.2 million to research and develop a better approach to monitoring bathing water.
I met with Ronan from the council and Boris from @smartdublin to get an update on this and was so glad to hear that we’ll soon be seeing improved detection at our favourite swimming spots like Seapoint, Forty Foot and Vico. Real-time updates are coming our way!

Warning: QR code scam on Pay & Display Machines
Fingal County Council is warning motorists to be vigilant of a QR scam that has taken place on Pay and Display machines. The Council is aware that a bogus QR sticker is being placed on some machines, bringing the user to a fraudulent website which requests credit card details and other personal data. This has been reported to An Garda Siochána.
Fingal County Council is advising motorists not to scan any QR codes or bar codes that may appear on Pay and Display machines. Instead, download the genuine parking app Payzone in use directly from your phones app store and use this, or pay directly by card or cash where available.
