Clare Fm - Podcasts

Those visiting Clare's waterways this weekend are being reminded that many drowning victims don't even intend to get into water. This May Bank Holiday, Water Safety Ireland, the Coast Guard, and the RNLI are collectively urging the public to prioritise safety both during water activities and when walking near waterways. Research shows that 36% of people don't know what to do if they get into trouble in the water. Clarecastle-based Chairperson of Water Safety Ireland Clare McGrath has been telling Clare FM's Seán Lyons that extreme caution should be observed when walking along cliff edges and river banks.
