Minister, I appreciate that the relationship between you and the farming community is not good. What can you do to support the community to help it with the Lough Neagh issue? In the past, the finger was pointed at them, but we know that it is not all their fault. They are not completely clean, but it is not all their fault. Every day, we see sewage in our rivers and on our streets that is running into Lough Neagh, but the finger is being pointed at farmers. What can you do to build that relationship and, ultimately, solve the problem?
