Easter water safety appeal from the Irish Coast Guard, Water Safety Ireland and RNLI highlights recreational craft

· Ahead of the Easter weekend, the Irish Coast Guard, RNLI and Water Safety Ireland are appealing for people to stay safe when they visit the coast or plan an activity, on or near the water.

· Easter is traditionally the time when many sailors and motorboat users take their craft out of storage and begin their season.

· Water temperatures at this time of year are still relatively cold and water users should always be aware of the risk of cold-water shock, when entering the water.

· Taking some simple advice and being prepared, can mean the difference between a great day out or having to call for assistance.
