    Irish Water Appeal To People To Be Safe At The Seaside This Bank Holiday

    People in Wicklow and surrounding counties taking to the water this August Bank Holiday Weekend are being urged to swim in safe locations where there is a lifeguard present.


    Irish Water Safety says the risk of drowning will be higher over the next few days because of a new moon that will bring spring tides to our coastline.

    Roger Sweeney, from Irish Water Safety, says the new Moon will cause strong rip currents on all surfing beaches
