The international Green Flag Award was awarded to 128 Irish parks, gardens, greenways and wildlife sanctuaries around the country today. In Ireland, An Taisce Environmental Education is the national operator, and has delivered the Green Flag Award since 2016. The Green Flag Award is a non-profit international accreditation program that recognises and rewards well-managed parks.
