You should be grand at these places in the morning/night, killiney beach is so big its not a problem in the day. White Rock is busy in the summer but again shouldnt be a problem and if it is there are always rocks to the left. The ramparts can be fished from beside the boulders to the left or further right of the bathing area and if anyone does swim past just take in the line and wait a few minutes. I wouldnt go near the 40 foot in the day unless it was empty, but at night you shouldnt encounter any problems. Seapoint has a small jetty to the right of salthill dart station that can be fished on at hight tide, and at low tide you should be fine!

Hi Guys. The document in the link in post 1 is the draft bye laws 2007. These were subsequently amended and published as the 2009 byelaws which can be found at www.dlrcoco.ie/CCDA/BeachByeLaws2009.htm.

The 2009 byelaws state
17. FISHING

a) Fishing and angling is prohibited at locations specified in Part IV of Schedule 2.

b) The Council (elected members) may designate other locations or times where fishing and angling is prohibited.

c) No person shall spread, fix or leave any nets, bait, lines, boxes, fishing gear, fish or shells in any such area where fishing is allowed (e.g. any beached area under the Councils control).


Part IV of Schedule 2 states

Part IV

Designated Areas where fishing is PROHIBITED at all times.
(see attached maps in yellow)

Forty Foot Bathing Place (No fishing anywhere in this area).

Seapoint Beach (between signed areas, i.e. Lifeguard Patrol Area).

Sandycove Beach (between signed areas, i.e. Lifeguard Patrol Area).

Killiney Beach (between signed areas, i.e. Lifeguard Patrol Area).


Maps of the bathing areas can be downloaded but unfortunately the no fishing areas do not appear to be shown.
