Bathing in the reservoirs is not permitted due to risk of uneven ground, as well as deep, fast flowing and changing water levels

It comes after a fourth drowning around the country this week

The 19 year old man died in the latest incident at a lake in Strokestown in Co Roscommon yesterday while swimming with friends.

A post mortem examination is being carried out on the body of a 10 year old boy who drowned in Youghal in Co Cork yesterday; whilst two other people drowned in separate incidents in counties Kildare and Limerick earlier in the week.
