Killarney House and Gardens, the jewel in the town centre, has received 2023 Green Flag Award and Heritage Site accreditation from environmental watchdog An Taisce.
Several public parks, gardens grounds and wildlife sanctuaries have been recognised and the Office of Public Works has been lauded for its efforts.
Minister of State with responsibility for the Office of Public Works, Patrick O’Donovan, said the OPW places great importance on the sustainable management and conservation of the State’s Heritage sites, and the Green Flag Awards scheme is a wonderful way of recognising and celebrating these high standards.
The Green Flag Awards recognise and encourage the provision of good quality parks and green spaces that are managed in environmentally sustainable ways.
The awards are marked on eight criteria, including horticultural standards, cleanliness, sustainability and community involvement.
Derrynane House was also recognised by the adjudicators as well as Tralee Bay Wetlands and Tralee town park.
