Sam McBride's in-depth look at Lough Neagh's blue-green algae crisis

It’s killing dogs. It’s killing swans - and almost half of Northern Ireland is drinking water drawn from a source laced with it. The Belfast Telegraph spent a day on Lough Neagh, during which we observed a dead swan in the Toome Canal, lying in a thick toxic sludge of what is commonly known as ‘blue-green algae’.

    Prayers sent to your bodies if water. Water is life.

    Department of Environment and Department of Agriculture need to get a grip on themselves. Maybe they hope winter will help kill it. Typically, cold weather temps could help, it appears at this point drastic measures need to be taken.
