Easter weekend prompts joint water safety appeal from Water Safety Ireland, the Coast Guard and RNLI
Ahead of the Easter weekend, the Coast Guard, RNLI and Water Safety Ireland are appealing for people to take some basic precautions to stay safe when they visit the coast or planning an activity on or near the water. As the clocks change and the evenings getting longer and brighter, more people are expected to get out on the water. Knowing some simple water safety advice can help prevent an accident or tragedy.
Please see a link to a press release from Water Safety Ireland, the Coast Guard and the RNLI in advance of the Easter weekend, issued Thursday 28th March:
Please be considerate of local residents - if you decide to drive please park in designated places & take any rubbish home with you, clean up after your dog and help us keep our beaches pristine for everyone to enjoy. #leavenotrace
Think Before You Park! Please don't park on double yellow lines, grass verges, cycle lanes, near school or pedestrian crossings. Remember under Fingal County Council Parking Control Bye-Laws illegal & dangerous parking is prohibited & will incur a Fixed Charge Penalty Notice. If you do head to our beaches or parks, please be considerate of local residents - if you decide to drive please park in designated places.
Over the Easter Bank Holiday period, Fingal County Council will be doing all we can to keep the Bring Bank facilities clear and available for use. Please use our bottle and textile banks responsibly and do not leave anything behind you i.e., Glass, cans, bottle tops, cardboard boxes, or plastic bags as this can incur a fine of €150 under the Litter Pollution Acts 1997-2009.
Should you wish to report any issues regarding the Bottle and Can bank facilities, please email [email protected] or contact 01 6854400. In relation any issues with our Textile Banks, please email [email protected] or contact 01 4642676.
Enjoy the Bank Holiday and thank you for recycling.
Make your dog proud of you and be a responsible dog walker this weekend. Ensure that your dog is on a lead or under effectual control at all times and remember to clean up after it. Find out more here
