Irish Coast Guard, Water Safety Ireland and RNLI in joint water safety plea ahead of St. Patrick’s Day ☘️🛟🌊

As communities across the country prepare to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day, the Irish Coast Guard, Water Safety Ireland, and the RNLI are issuing a joint appeal urging the public to stay safe in, on, or near the water.

Recent national data* shows that 65% of accidental drownings were preceded by land‑based activities, including walking, angling, and hiking.

With footfall expected to increase around the coast, rivers, and lakes ahead of St Patrick’s Day, all three organisations are asking people to prioritise water safety when making plans.

With many parades, events, and increased traffic around coastal roads, harbours, riversides, and canals, the organisations are also asking motorists to avoid parking too close to water as tides can rise quickly and storm surges or wakes from passing vessels may flood areas unexpectedly.

Key water safety advice ahead of St. Patrick’s Day

🛟Never mix alcohol with water activities, or when walking near water
🛟Check weather conditions and tide times before heading out. Sudden changes and high tides can create hazardous conditions and may leave walkers stranded
🛟Carry a reliable means of communication, such as a fully charged mobile phone, VHF radio, or Personal Locator Beacon (PLB).
🛟Tell someone where you are going and when you expect to return
🛟Wear a suitable Personal Flotation Device (PFD) for any water-based activity, including shoreline angling
🛟Stay well back from edges during cliff and coastal walks and be mindful of erosion or storm related changes to paths.

If you see somebody in trouble on the water or along the coast or think that they are in trouble, use Marine VHF Ch 16 or dial 112 and ask for the Coast Guard.

📢 **Public Advisory: Hemlock Water Dropwort Found on The Mall Beach, Youghal**

Cork County Council is advising the public to avoid touching the Hemlock Water Dropwort plant after it was found washed up on The Mall beach, Youghal.

This plant is naturally occurring in Ireland but is known to be highly toxic, and its roots can resemble a parsnip. Direct contact may cause skin irritation, so we ask visitors to take care when walking along the shoreline.

Please remain vigilant on beaches in the East Cork area, and ensure that children and pets are kept away from any unfamiliar plants that may have washed ashore.

Anyone who believes they may have come into contact with the plant is encouraged to seek advice from a healthcare professional.

Cork County Council will continue to monitor the situation and take appropriate steps as needed.

Congratulations to the students who completed there CFR-A course today

We are deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Mark Dixon, a visionary leader, researcher, and passionate educator who played a pivotal role in advancing pre-hospital emergency care education and clinical practice in Ireland.

Mark was instrumental in developing degree-level education for Paramedics, launching Ireland’s first Paramedic BSc, and helping to establish the foundation for professional recognition and academic excellence within our field. Through his work with the University of Limerick School of Medicine, he inspired countless Paramedics, EMTs, and educators to strive for higher standards in evidence-based practice, critical thinking, and patient-centred care.

His pioneering research and advocacy in spinal motion restriction reshaped national practice and thinking, encouraging a move toward a more clinically reasoned and patient-focused approach. Mark’s work reminded us that progress in pre-hospital care must always be grounded in both science and compassion.

Mark’s influence continues to live on through every student, tutor, and practitioner who benefits from the knowledge and professional framework he helped build. His passion for innovation and education will remain a guiding light for all of us committed to improving patient outcomes and advancing pre-hospital care.

We extend our heartfelt condolences to Mark’s family, friends, colleagues, and the entire paramedicine community. His legacy will continue to inspire future generations of EMTs, Paramedics, and educators in Ireland and beyond.

Rest in peace, Mark. Your dedication, intellect, and humanity have left an indelible mark on our profession.
