Blue Flag Scheme is administered in Ireland by <a href='http://www.antaisce.ie/'><font color='#0000ff'>An Taisce (external site)</font></a> ,
the National Trust for Ireland, with financial assistance from this Department.
It is a voluntary, non-statutory scheme. It is operated by the Foundation for
Environmental Education (FEE) – an NGO. The quality criteria set for Blue
Flags, and the awarding of a Blue Flag are matters solely for the European Jury
of FEE. <br />
<br />
To apply for Blue Flag status, a beach must, be a designated bathing area under
Bathing Water Quality Regulations and must comply with the guideline standards
laid down in the EU Bathing Waters Directive. These two conditions must be met
in the bathing season (1 June to 31 August) of the year prior to application.<br />
<br />
To gain a Blue Flag, the bathing areas must also comply with additional
criteria in relation to the facilities available and general management, at the
beach. In addition, evidence of plans for environmental improvements as well as
future environmental education projects are also taken into account when the
decision to award a Blue Flag is made.</span></p><font color='#000000' face='Times New Roman' size='3'>
