#WaterSafety - The Irish Coast Guard has reiterated its warning to the public not to go to sea in unsuitable craft after two children were recovered from a small dinghy off North Co Dublin on Monday evening.
As TheJournal.ie reports, a routine coastguard patrol off Howth happened upon the two boys who had set out to sea in the tiny inflatable with armbands instead of lifejackets.
The boys were taken aboard the coastguard vessel "for their own safety" and taken back to dry land at Howth Harbour.
Coastguard officials highlighted this incident as a perfect example of the kind of dangerous behaviour the public should avoid on the water.
Coastal rescue teams may get some reprieve from the hot weather over the new few days, however, with Independent.ie reporting a drop in temperatures, cloudy skies and spells of rain from tomorrow.
