Members of the public are putting themselves in danger as they stand on seafronts and harbour walls in Clontarf and Howth watching the waves breaking. This is not recommended and the Irish Coast Guard advice is to stay away from coastal areas like Harbour Walls and Seafronts during storms and high tides. What is perceived as a viewing point can quickly turn into an area flooded with very fast moving water taking people back into the sea. If the public consider someone maybe likely to get into danger we encourage them to call 112/999 and ask for the Coast Guard.
The next high tide of concern is Friday at 12.30pm and the Coast Guard in Howth are working closely with other agencies to monitor the situation. For further information on flooding visit www.flooding.ie. Photos below, credit to the Irish Times and The Journal (Brian Lawless/PA Wire).
