Text
I also condemn the death threats against you, Minister, and offer my solidarity and best wishes. Mobuoy was one of the biggest illegal dumps in Europe. I welcome the action taken against those implicated. I commend all the activists in Derry and the north-west. It would be remiss of me not to mention my former MLA colleague Eamonn McCann 's work as a journalist in highlighting the Mobuoy site. Minister, do you have a grasp of how many smaller Mobuoy sites may exist across the North? Do you agree that the example of Mobuoy underlines the need for an independent environmental protection agency?
