East Cork Beaches Receive Blue and Green Flag Awards
by SEAMUS WHELEHAN
Continued from front page Changes to the Blue
Flag Water Quality criteria, along with ag- ricultural pressures on the
Blackwater
and raw sewage being pumped into the
River, sea
water, have resulted in Youghal and Garryvoe losing their Blue Flag beaches over the years. It’s likely these beach-
es will take a number of years to regain their Blue Flag status. The construction of treatment
the sewage
plant in Youghal will go a long way to rectifying this problem over the next two years. However, the results highlight the need for a wastewater treatment facility in the Garryvoe area before that beach regains its Blue Flag.

If proper infrastruc- such as parking
and toilets were devel- oped at Inch, Ring and Shanagarry, they would have the potential to be awarded Blue Flag sta- tus.
