The Irish Coast Guard unit in Howth were today involved in a water safety visit to St Josephs's Primary School in East Wall in Dublin's inner city. This is the second year of a joint safety initiative between the Irish Coast Guard (Howth), An Garda Siochana Community Policing (Store Street) and staff from local business - Canada Life Re-Insurance.
The program provided an interactive water safety presentation for 60 students making up 4th, 5th and 6th class. A particular focus was given to the dangers of jumping off high structures likes bridges and buildings into rivers or canals. There is a severe risk of incurring life changing injuries including spinal damage from this activity. Other areas presented included CPR, Ringbuoys and preparation for going on the water.
