    "The Blue Flag is one of the world’s most recognised eco-labels. The 82 Irish beaches and 2 marinas that have achieved this accolade met a specific set of criteria related to water quality, information provision, environmental education and beach management. As a pre-requisite, the bathing water at Blue Flag beaches must meet the highest standards of bathing water quality. The numbers of Blue Flags awarded in Ireland this year has increased by eight on 2010 making the number of Blue Flags awarded reach an all time record high".

    Now that's a piece of good news, will have to take up surfing, it's healthy (and will give people something to laugh at);)
