A NEW REPORT by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) this week revealed that 97% of Ireland’s bathing sites meet or exceed the minimum standard for cleanliness.
Some 114 bathing sites (77%) had excellent water quality, down from 117 in 2022.
However, five bathing waters were classified as ‘poor’, up from three the previous year.
These are Front Strand Beach, Loughshinny Beach and Sandymount Strand in Co Dublin, as well as Lady’s Bay in Buncrana, Co Donegal, and Trá na mBan in Spidéal, Co Galway.
With the publication of this report, and as the weather is starting to warm up a bit, let’s test your knowledge of Irish beaches.
