Cathal Mallaghan MP.
Sinn Féin MP Cathal Mallaghan has today called on the Irish government to support the Executive in tackling the recurrence of blue-green algae in Lough Neagh.
He made the comments during a meeting of the Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement in Leinster House, Dublin.
“Sinn Féin has been consistently calling for a collective effort to address the issues facing Lough Neagh, which is now a national emergency,” said the Mid Ulster MP after the committee meeting.
“Today, I called on the Irish government to work with Environment Minister Andrew Muir and the entire Executive to tackle these issues and help restore the lough.
“Rivers from across the island of Ireland, particularly in border communities, flow into Lough Neagh. It’s only right the Irish government supports the Executive to protect the lough.
“That’s why I asked the Irish government to explore whether funds from the Shared Island Unit can be invested in the Executive’s Lough Neagh Action Plan and other projects.
“I will continue working with parties across Ireland to restore Lough Neagh and safeguard it for future generations.”
