Almost half of Northern Ireland’s beaches
have lost their coveted Blue Flags because of tougher new water quality
standards. The number of beaches receiving the award has dropped from 11 to
six, it was revealed today
The reduction in the accolades has been
blamed on stricter EU bathing standards introduced this year. The UK and
Republic of Ireland have also seen their Blue Flags slashed. The five beaches
missing out this time are Downhill, Castlerock, Portrush East, Crawfordsburn
and Cranfield West.
