The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has confirmed that water quality at Ireland’s bathing sites remained high throughout 2025. This achievement comes despite challenges posed by increased heavy rainfall during the year.
According to the latest report, a remarkable 98% of bathing locations across the country met or exceeded the minimum standards for water quality. This reflects the continued commitment to maintaining safe and clean recreational water areas.
In the face of changing weather patterns, such as heavier rainfall, the consistent quality of bathing waters underscores the effectiveness of current environmental protection measures. The EPA continues to monitor and adapt strategies to ensure that Ireland’s coastal and inland waters are safe for public use.
The report highlights the importance of ongoing efforts to safeguard water quality, which is crucial for public health and tourism. Authorities remain vigilant, aiming to address potential future challenges posed by climate change and environmental pressures.
