IMPROVED ACCESS TO SALTHILL BEACH TO BOOST NUMBERS

Date Published: 07-Jan-2013

Improved access and safety features at ladies beach in Salthill will help boost the number of users at the popular location.

That’s according to city councillor Donal Lyons who says extra railings have now been erected and further ramps will be installed during the year.

The old shower has also been taken away and a new shower is being provided.

The beach is traditionally known as the Ladies beach because in the 50s and 60s Bishop Browne only allowed ladies and families to swim there.

Councillor Donal Lyons says the upgrades will encourage more people to use the facility.
