Lifeguards return to Clare beaches
Lifeguard cover has resumed at Clare beaches.
Nine Clare beaches have retained their Blue Flag for 2020 while Kilrush Marina has been recognised for the first time in 15 years.
No green-light has been given on the return to mass gatherings in Ireland prompting the cancellation of hundreds of planned festivals across the country.
44 Tidy Towns groups in Co Clare have been allocated a combined €54,000 which they will be able to use despite the cancellation of this year’s competition.
