Lifeguards 'on jellyfish patrol' as Dublin beach closes

Lifeguards across the country are combing beaches for infestations of Lion's Manes and Portugese Man O'War jellyfish.

Up to 17 Lion's Manes jellyfish were found at Sandycove beach in Dublin yesterday, causing the beach to be closed as a precautionary measure and there are also warnings at Seapoint and Killiney beaches.
