Text
Scientists are providing evidence that the area of dangerously polluted water in Belfast lough is expanding. It is having an adverse impact on water sports, bathing and mussel production, with the annual tonnage of that down. Will the Minister agree with the assertion of a whistle-blower, who said to me that Belfast lough has the potential to become the new Lough Neagh in the next 10 years?
