Three areas in Kerry awarded a Green Flag

Three areas in Kerry have been awarded a Green Flag.

Over 100 areas around the country have received the international accreditation, which recognises high-quality parks and green spaces that are managed in a sustainable way.

Childers Park & Woodlands in Listowel, Tralee Bay Wetlands and Tralee Town Park have all been awarded Green Flags by An Taisce.

Childers Park and Woodlands and Tralee Town Park retained their prestigious Green Flag Award, while it's the first time Tralee Wetlands entered the competition.

Robert Moss, of An Taisce, says volunteer groups throughout Ireland have been recognised this year:
