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 full house here tonight for our event with @elainemcgoff.bsky.social from @antaisce.bsky.social including two Oireachtas members: Wexford Labour TD George Lawlor and @greenpartyie.bsky.social Senator @malcolmnoonan.bsky.social which is very encouraging.

Our campaign were happy to welcome Senator Cathal Byrne of Fine Gael down to the lake last week. We discussed options for ensuring transparent action and the role of farmers in working to #SaveLadysIslandLake. Senator Byrne is the first Government Oireachtas member to engage with us directly.

If you'd like to activate our politicians on the urgent need to address pollution and the climate emergency, a great place to start is with signing our petition 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)

All talk, no action. This is an uninspiring response from the Minister to Deputy Whitmore. #SaveLadysIslandLake
Deputy Whitmore called on the Minister "to take direct leadership of this programme and ensure it is treated as a national environmental priority", noting that the government's response "shows an unserious approach to preventing biodiversity loss nationwide.”

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.
