Waterways Ireland Issue Low Level Warning To Midlands Boaters

Levels are currently at or below 'Ordinary Summer levels' along part of the Shannon.

Waterways Ireland has issued a cautionary warning to boaters in the midlands.

They're advising people on the River Shannon of low water levels and fast flows from Banagher to Meelick.

Levels are currently at or below 'Ordinary Summer levels' in the area.

Masters of vessels are requested to observe the 5 kilometre speed limits in the Meelick area to prevent squat in shallower areas.

Masters of vessels, particularly those with deep drafts, are advised to navigate with additional caution and to remain within the navigation at all times.
