The ESB has reminded members of the public of the dangers and potentially serious consequences of swimming in any of their Donegal reservoirs.
Over the June bank holiday weekend, and with the improving spell of warm weather, a spokesperson for the electricity generator and supplier stressed these areas are not appropriate for swimming. This is due to the risk of deep and fast-flowing waters, changing water levels and uneven ground.
These waters include the headrace and tailrace canal in Assaroe, Ballyshannon, as well as Lough Nacung and Lough Dunlewey.

ESB would also like to remind the general public who use their lands for leisure activities, such as fishing and walking, to adhere to current social distancing guidelines.
