Galway Bay fm newsroom - There is a swimming ban at three Salthill beaches
The red 'no bathing' flag has been erected at Grattan Road, Salthill and Blackrock beaches
The city council put the bathing ban in place after a green algae bloom appeared and it's expected to remain in place until Monday at least
