Warning - Snow Bound Harbours Pose Major Risk
Snow bound harbours and ice covered jetties in particular are dangerous to walk on or near because of the risk of slipping, tripping or falling near to the water's edge.
Sections of the Royal and Grand Canals and the Shannon Erne Waterway have restricted navigation due to ice accumulation.
Where water in lock chambers has frozen the public is warned not to attempt to cross over a lock in this state due to the great danger of ice cracking underfoot and being drowned in the lock.
