      Every time there’s a glimpse of sun Burrow beach is rammed with teenagers all drinking etc.

      Is it not time to have lifeguards and gardaí stationed there prior to these shocking incidents rather than in response if they’re not going to do something like limiting the amount of people on the beach or completely closing it.

      Even cracking down harder on younger teens drinking would limit these incidents.

      Shocking, water is dangerous and should always be respected.

      These sort of incidents are far too common around this time of the year, and it won’t be the last the Summer either unfortunately.

      I remember growing up, my school was one of the only ones in the area that didn’t do swimming lessons, so I couldn’t swim until I learned as an adult. But it meant I simply never went near deep or dangerous water growing up, whilst others were jumping into quarries which was asking for trouble.

      The water there is extremely dangerous.  Dont know if its because of the vicinity of Irelands eye or whatever but even in waist high water you can feel a really strong current at your legs . Poor girl and family

      Stupid question but how does this happen like isn’t there 100s of people in the sea that can assist if someone is struggling ?

      Unfortunately, there seem to be drownings every time we have hot weather.

      So so sad. It stuns me how water safety is not a major thing on our small island.

      My heart goes out to her family.

      A really really popular beach as soon as there is any kind of warm weather that really should have a Lifeguard from March through to October …..but once again the authorities cheapskate and only June July August …Ditto water testing

      Ous state services really are the pits

      ~Gutted for her family …so easily avoided if the infrastructure was in place
