Water Safety Ireland is appealing to the public to prioritise safety and avoid putting themselves, or emergency responders, at unnecessary risk. Storm conditions significantly increase the danger in areas that are typically considered safe. Coastal paths, piers, harbours, riverbanks, and inland waterways can become treacherous in stormy conditions.
