Harbour users in Co Cork have been reminded about adhering to safety guidelines after 14 vessels were found travelling in excess of the five knots speed limit in inner harbours – three were asked to reduce speed to minimise their wash, and one 16-footer speed boat was found with crew not wearing life jackets.

As harbour use increases during the summer months, Cork County Council’s senior harbour master Julian Renault is calling on all boat users to adhere to safety and speed restrictions on the water.
