Outboards restrictions on Irish lakes

Montgolfier · 2018-01-23 00:13:42

I bought a boat for the summer and intend using it on some of our big lakes. Are there any lakes that restrict the use of 2 stroke engines on pleasure craft? Google is not much use.

Go for it I love the smell of two stroke in the morning The only lake I can think of that might have restrictions is Blessington lake but that has more to do with engine size.
