Dangers of swimming in Donegal ESB Reservoirs
Warm weather and June Bank Holiday require extra vigilance
During the spell of fine weather promised for this June bank holiday weekend, ESB would like to remind the general public of the dangers and potentially serious consequences of swimming in any Donegal ESB reservoir.
These areas are not appropriate for swimming because of the risk of deep and fast-flowing waters, changing water levels and uneven ground, they say.
These waters include Assaroe, Lough Nacung and Lough Dunlewey in Donegal, the reservoirs at Poulaphouca in County Wicklow, Golden Falls and Leixlip in County Kildare, Inniscarra and Carrigadrohid in County Cork, the Ardnacrusha headrace and tailrace canal in County Clare.
