Lough Neagh: Pollution putting livelihoods and lake itself at risk
By Richard O'ReillyLivelihoods - and even the viability of the lake itself - are at risk from the level of pollution in Lough Neagh, angling groups and politicians have warned.
One angler at Ballyronan told BBC News NI that nobody is taking responsibility for the pollution of the rivers that flow into Lough Neagh, where commercial eel fishing has been important to the local economy. "The amount of slurry and raw sewage being pumped into Lough Neagh, it's just accumulating a huge amount of nutrients. From what I can see, the lough's dying.
SDLP councillor in Mid Ulster Malachi Quinn said reports have found the water quality in Lough Neagh is poor and it would take more than 20 years to improve it.
