Be Summer Ready
During the summer months, Ireland’s waterways and beaches become very popular. More people visit the countryside, engage in outdoor pursuits, visit family farms or take holidays abroad. With these activities there are associated risks. As part of the government's 'Be Summer Ready' campaign information on being prepared and staying safe during these summer months is available in a 'Be Summer Ready' booklet which is available to download here.
