Green Flag

The Green Flag Award scheme aims to encourage the provision of good quality public

parks and green spaces that are managed in environmentally sustainable ways.

The scheme is a non-profit international accreditation program that recognises and

rewards well-managed parks and green spaces. It is managed by the UK environmental

charity Keep Britain Tidy, under license from the UK Government and delivered in

partnership through a network of national operators around the world. In Ireland, An

Taisce is the national operator, and has delivered the Green Flag Award since

2016.

The international Green Flag Award was awarded to 128 Irish Parks, Gardens,

Greenways and Wildlife Sanctuaries, around the country, on Wednesday the 12th

of November 2025, an increase of 8 awards since last year. The awards ceremony

took place at Maynooth University Campus in County Kildare.

Two members of Dromiskin Tidy Towns attended the ceremony and were

delighted when we retained our two Green Flags - one for the Heritage Park and

the other for Ginnety’s Pond Nature Park. We remain the only local community in

the country with two flags.
