Stone Hits Swimmer in Lismore | Waterford News

A young swimmer in County Waterford suffered a serious injury after being struck by a thrown stone at The Strand in Lismore — the wound required medical attention and stitches. The incident sparked public concern after a local councillor posted a warning on Facebook urging people to stop throwing rocks in swimming areas, emphasizing how dangerous it is and how even a “joke” can lead to real harm. Witnesses say kids nearby were shaken, and one woman noted the gash was severe — lucky it didn’t hit his eyes. The councillor’s message was a simple but vital reminder: our actions impact others, especially in shared public spaces. This incident serves as a sobering wake-up call for everyone to be more mindful and responsible during summer fun.
