Text
Minister, I note that you identified the potential damage to the shellfish industry in Belfast lough from pollution. I think that you and I are on the same page: the threats to Belfast lough go a lot deeper than just that issue. Indeed, last year, you agreed with me that Belfast lough has the potential to be the next Lough Neagh if something is not done. I note from your fourth proposal that you will seek the support of Executive colleagues to enhance the treatment for waste water discharges that enter the lough. Are you confident that you will get that support, given that the Executive have shown no enthusiasm to date to do so?
