The new regulations will be introduced by Galway County Council.

Among the measures will be bans on dogs at certain times, bans on inflatables, and limitations on the use of gear like kayaks, canoes, and paddle boards near swimmers.

Dr. Barra Nevin is a member of Galway Bay Sailing Club and Galway Windsurfers.

He's concerned the bye-laws as they stand could result in an outright ban on watersports at beaches across Galway.
