Summary
Ardmore Beach, once a Blue Flag winner, has lost its top-tier status despite a massive €1.3 million investment in a new water activity center. The council is ramping up efforts—doubling its water quality team and testing for fecal contamination from horses, dogs, cattle, or humans—to pinpoint pollution sources. While officials confirm water quality remains “good,” it’s no longer classified as “excellent.” With intensified testing and expanded resources, they’re determined to restore the beach’s reputation and reclaim its Blue Flag.
