## Resource

Clare County Council says it's looking to extend its operating season at beaches and coastal locations. The local authority has come under pressure to provide lifeguards outside of the June to September season and to open toilet facilities on a more regular basis in light of May's high temperatures seeing crowds flock to waterways. The council says it's not possible to guarantee full lifeguard cover beyond September due to staffing constraints but it remains committed to a flexible approach and would like to extend the opening period of public toilet facilities from next year. Local Fianna Fáil Councillor Shane Talty says more resources are needed.
