“This is a great honour for Inch Beach which is known all over the world for its cleanliness, spectacular scenery and stunning walks. Our coastal and beach environments are one of the biggest attractions for locals and tourists alike and we all have a role to play in ensuring that a high standard is maintained at all times.
“Inch is one of 14 Blue Flag beaches in Kerry and as we enter yet another busy season at our beaches, Kerry County Council appeals to all beach users to ensure they leave no litter on the beaches of Kerry and to avoid any damage to our wonderful coastal areas so that the county can maintain and improve on its Blue Flag complement,” he said.
Cllr Fitzgerald also thanked locals who frequent the beach for their cooperation in maintaining a pristine beach environment.
