I fully understand the Member's request for an Adjournment debate on the pressing pollution issue around Lough Erne. I too have brought up the critical issues of water pollution and the state of our waters across Northern Ireland numerous times in the Chamber and at the AERA Committee in this and the previous mandate.…

The Member listed environmental and nature crisis issues. Will he consider whether we should take action on sand dredging on Lough Neagh? My understanding is that his…
I am speaking today as the Alliance spokesperson on agriculture, environment and rural affairs, with a particular emphasis on the environment.
