The bloom is most easily recognized when it forms a bright pea-green paint like scum on or close to the shoreline.

The public are being advised to exercise caution – contact with this bloom should be avoided as it may cause skin irritation.

All animals – especially dogs – should be kept away from the affected area.

Farmers are being told to ensure animals have an alternative source of drinking water.

The Environment & Climate Action Section of Tipperary County Council can be contacted on 0761 06 5000.
