Minister, in your answer, you referred to how you are doing all that you can on water quality. In May, in a constituency beside mine, six to 10 sheep, one calf and 20 to 30 lambs were dumped in a river. No farmer dumps animals in a river, so, in my eyes, whoever did that is not a farmer. Those animals are still in that river, affecting both it and a river that flows through my constituency and goes into Lough Neagh. Therefore, you are not doing all that you can for water quality, because those animals are still in that river and polluting it. What will you do to address that issue?
