IrelandSecurity measures have been increased at the Vico Baths in Dalkey, Dublin, following reports of 'unacceptable behavior' toward construction workers working on a repair and upgrade project. The site, a popular swimming spot frequented by celebrities, was closed in March for renovations expected to finish by early June. However, delays have occurred due to unauthorized public access causing additional damage. The local council has installed stronger barriers to prevent entry during the works and emphasized its zero-tolerance policy regarding abusive behavior toward staff and contractors. Local swimmer Dave Berry criticized the closure, arguing that the site should remain open until the end of September given the extreme heat and questioned the accountability of public funds spent on the project.
