In Galway, residents of Moycullen were mourning the loss of a Lithuanian man who drowned while swimming with friends in Ballyquirke Lake on Saturday evening 8 June, according to Galway Bay FM.
And RTÉ News reports of a similar incident in Cork in the early hours of this morning 10 June, in which a 21-year-old man drowned after getting into difficulties in the River Lee near Ballincollig.
The young man is also believed to have been swimming with friends after another hot day across the country, according to The Irish Times.
Elsewhere in Cork, RTÉ News says a 17-year-old has died after drowning in the River Blackwater.
