A report is to be carried out on the safety of swimming at a popular beach in East Cork after councillors asked officials to ensure lifeguards were on duty there for the start of the next tourism season.

The request was made by Sinn Féin councillor Danielle Twomey, Fine Gael councillor Susan McCarthy and Green Party councillor Liam Quade at a meeting of the East Cork Municipal Council that lifeguards be placed at Inch Beach.
