While I agree this is a disaster in the making, disagree with the 'if this was in England' comment because English beaches and rivers are full of sewage and the government literally couldn't give a crap.
Exactly. Lough Neagh is at the centre of the bit of Ireland that is run from Westminster. If they won’t stop raw human sewage from flowing into their own bathing areas, they’re unlikely to give a crap (pun intended) about Lough Neagh. As big as it is, most English people couldn’t find it on a map.
The vast majority of slurry goes straight onto the fields. The farmers have to get rid of it somewhere. When the slatted units are full, there full. Ive seen it spread beside rivers in torrential rain. Washed straight into the river. Reported to the relevant authorities and swept under the carpet. Herds are too big.
Farmers need to conduct their business in a more responsible manner, they are continually portraying themselves as victims but in truth most barely make any effort to run their farms in a responsible manner and follow any environmental guidelines.Most of them are only farmers because it's the family business they inherited not because they have any respect for the land and any passion for it.
@@ruth.greening I know where my food comes from, if anything your attempt at defending lack of environmental principles from the industry that provides our food is quite worrying. Surely of all the industries in the world Agriculture should be the one most obsessed with good environmental principles as we are directly ingesting the products farmers produce.
Too much heat and more livestock which are badly managed is going to kill off clean water. Cull some business sizes, limit the amount of livestock that people can raise. It's too excessive a number directly relative of business market greed.
We need to reduce (not eliminate) cattle farming and move toward more arable or crop farming, where the land and climate allow. Lough Neagh is somewhere that we may benefit.
@ruthgreening9440 He obviously isn't a farmer but his blatant aim at farmer's and lack of knowledge of constraints and red tape farmers have. Water, sewage companies however have been doing this for decades that I know of.
It's not actully alge it's a bacteria although it is called blue green algee but it's actually a bacteria not sure if it is good for taking carbon out or actually making it worse ?
Partially correct: The stuff starts rotting once the components sustaining the bacteria run out, The mass death that then triggers causes a massive stink and tons of Co2 will be released
iam environmental and farmers dont give a f7ck, if it costs cash to fix then dont expect farmers to do right thing and regulatory bodies are hesitant to go against agric

Westminster is full of sewage
@@Dreyno Lough Neagh, the largest lake in the UK, situated in Northern Ireland, a constituent nation of the UK.
And with devolved government Wesminster should have much less influence, no?

@@66556086 It's incorrect to call it a correction, when "UK's largest lake" is a correct statement.
Looks like green gold to me! Where there's muck there's brass.
Give me some! Compost.
Go to Ireland in summer for some Global Cooling. Sporadic summer days only.
They’re trying really hard to get rid of farmers..

Just over a hundred years ago it used to be Ireland's biggest lough.
Good old DUP. No NI government. No responsibility. No action.
The old adage “Those Protestants - up to no good as usual…”
Don’t think they’d be complaining though if it was orange 😮
Discworld's Anhk river is more and more real every day
Reflecting Tories, and labour legacy of corruption galore.

They must urgently take actions and clean every atom of it
Very little slurry in the UK goes through a digester.

Errr, no. The people of northern ireland need cattle farming much more than we need lough neigh.
@@davidthompson9141Lough Neagh is literally our main source of drinking water which is now poisoned lol
Thanks Tories, and the people who voted for them.
Fine everyone this is an ecological crisis

After it comes from the digester its not really dung anymore. Kind of like how compost isn’t rotting vegetables.
He's a farmer! Gets his hands dirty!

Amazing that we were told there is a shortage of fertilizer because of Russia Ukraine war when northern Ireland has an abundance of fertiliser.
