A precautionary bathing water notice in place at Waterville beach in County Kerry has been lifted.

The one-off overflow occurred following a period of thunder and heavy rainfall that caused a power failure at the pump station.

Crews were on the ground maintaining the pump station and there have been no overflows from the pump station since then. A repair of the pump station was also completed successfully.

Kerry County Council and Irish Water are continuing to monitor the operation of the pump station.
