Gardaí are asking people gathering at the Forty Foot to go home.

The popular bathing spot reopened today after being closed for the last two months due to Covid-19.

Signs that say "Covid-19 Swim and Go" greet you as you arrive to the Forty Foot in Sandycove.

Shortly before 3pm, four gardaí arrived and started approaching groups of friends.

Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council says its bathers' personal responsibility to practice safe physical distancing.
