A warning has been issued to those travelling to Clare's waterways this weekend that the recent inclement weather could create potentially lethal conditions.
The Irish Coast Guard, Water Safety Ireland and RNLI have issued a joint water safety appeal urging people to stay safe in, on or near the water in the coming days.
