Leaving Cert results are just one moment in your journey - they don’t define who you are or what you can achieve.
If someone you know has received their results today, take a moment to check in and see how they’re feeling. A little support can make a big difference if they’re finding things difficult.

Boil Water Notice Issued for Galtee Regional Public Water Supply

Please Take Heed of the Following Guidelines:

1: Water must be boiled (rolling boil for 1 minute and then cooled) for:
• Drinking
• Preparing Drinks made with water
• Preparation of salads and similar foods, which are not cooked prior to eating
• Brushing of teeth and/or gargling
• Making of ice. However, ensure you first discard all existing ice cubes in fridges and freezers and filtered water in fridges.
IMPORTANT: Boil water by bringing to a vigorous, rolling boil and allow to cool. Cover and store in a refrigerator or cold place. Water from the hot tap of kitchen or bathroom sinks is not safe to drink.

2: You do not have to boil your water for the following:
• Personal hygiene, baths and showers
• Flushing of toilets
• Watering plants and flowers

3: Caution:
• Domestic water filters will not render water safe to drink
• Caution should be taken when bathing children to ensure that they do not swallow the bathing water
• Discard ice cubes in fridges and freezers and filtered water in fridges.
If you have pets and are concerned about the impact of providing mains water while this BWN is in place, you should ask your local vet for advice.

4: Only Use Prepared Water (boiled and cooled) for the following situations
- when preparing foods that will not be cooked (eg washing salads)
- preparing infant formula. Where a boil water notice is in place, you can prepare infant formula from tap water that has been boiled once (rolling boiling point for one minute) and cooled beforehand. Bottled water can also be used to make up infant formula. All bottled water, with the exception of natural mineral water, is regulated to the same standard as drinking water. It is best to not use bottled water that is labelled ‘Natural Mineral Water’ it can have high levels of sodium (salt) and other minerals, although it rarely does. ‘Natural Mineral Water’ can be used if there is no other water available, for as short a time as possible, as it is important to keep a baby hydrated. If bottled water is used to make up formula, it should be boiled once (rolling boiling point for one minute).

Sunny Weather Ahead - Here are Some Sun Safety Tips from Rocklow Medical
Centre
With hot sunny spells expected in Fethard this week, it’s the perfect time to enjoy the outdoors - but don’t forget to protect your skin, especially fair Irish skin, which burns quickly even on cloudy days.

Sun Safety Tips - For Young and Old:
Fair Irish skin is highly sensitive to UV rays - wear sunscreen with at least SPF 30 and a 4-star UVA rating, even if you’re just out for a walk or in the garden.
Wear a wide-brimmed hat — it protects not just your scalp but also your ears and the back of your neck, areas that are often forgotten and easily burned.

Sunglasses with UV protection help guard your eyes — especially important for children and older adults.
Keep babies and toddlers in the shade, and dress them in long, loose cotton clothing and sun hats.
Avoid the sun between 11am and 3pm when it’s at its strongest - especially important for young children, older people, and anyone with fair or sensitive skin.
Stay hydrated with plenty of fluids, and keep an eye out for signs of heat exhaustion — especially in the very young and older adults.
Check your skin regularly - if you notice any unusual changes or moles, get them checked.
Let’s enjoy the sunshine safely — a little care now can prevent serious problems later
