Unfortunately, plans are no good unless they’re actioned. This is something we know all too well in #Wexford. Decades of plans but no action. #SaveLadysIslandLake
More than a year after politicians at Stormont approved an action plan to tackle toxic algae on Lough Neagh, it's back with a vengeance, writes Vincent Kearney

All talk, no action. This is an uninspiring response from the Minister to Deputy Whitmore. #SaveLadysIslandLake

This contribution by @rodericogorman.bsky.social helps to keep the pressure on Government at local and national level to deliver on tangible and meaningful action to #SaveLadysIslandLake
In the wake of a damning EPA Report this week on water quality, I questioned the Taoiseach today on Lady's Island Lake. The local action group are seeking monthly tests to be carried out along with confirmed funding for actions that will support local farmers to reduce runoff into the lake (1/2)

On one side of the screen nitrate and phosphate pollution. On the other the amount of derogation farms. A picture says a thousand words. #SaveLadysIslandLake

It's so encouraging to get a full house for this event. It's also the first time local councillors and TDs have attended one of our public events. The conversation is detailed, respectful, and engaged. We need an evidence-based strategy to #SaveLadysIslandLake

A blustery day for the pilgrims. Good to chat to the IFA Deputy President and the County Chairman at the roadside. It was a positive discussion and we had plenty of support from the public too. #SaveLadysIslandLake

Please sign our petition calling for transparency from local and national government on the plan to #SaveLadysIslandLake
Today we handed our paper petition with 1100+ signatures calling on WexCoCo to enforce the Water Pollution Act.

We also launched our online petition, calling for the publication of WexCoCo's action plan & terms of reference & calling for Government support.

Coverage of @rodericogorman.bsky.social and @malcolmnoonan.bsky.social’s visit to the Lake last weekend. We need political action not political sledging. We’re grateful to those who have engaged with us in good faith to #SaveLadysIslandLake

Our volunteers spent another day gathering signatures for our petition to #SaveLadysIslandLake. This time, at the annual pilgrimage. Lady’s Island is a site of religious significance for Catholics. We had many engaging and supportive conversations about how to ensure action is taken.

The EPA's latest report on Ireland's rivers paints a depressing picture. Nitrate pollution of Irish rivers is getting worse.

We are still waiting for details on the action plan to #SaveLadysIslandLake

Fertiliser pollution of Irish rivers is getting worse - at a really bad time for the government
It comes just as the government is seeking an extension to Ireland’s nitrates derogation.

He summarises the present situation for us, citing @rodericogorman.bsky.social's questioning of An Taoiseach Michéal Martin about prioritising reversing the pollution of the lake. The Taoiseach agreed it needed to be a priority.
