Disheartened to see Castletown Parklands is under threat from housing developers. they have already started putting in a car park beside the River Liffey and placed 'land poisoned' signs beside pollinator friend zones. 1/2

Ireland really needs to make significant improvement in how we deal with nutrient pollution.

Campaigners have held a wake on the shores of Lough Neagh to mourn what they say is the death of the largest freshwater lake in Ireland and the UK. The lough is heavily polluted with toxic blue-green algae | rte.ie/b/1405756

Meanwhile visitor access from M4 is being withdrawn to the wonderful Castletown House in CELBRIDGE after OPW were out bid in sale of land adjoining house.

After many years I’m finally seeing the beauty of An Blascaod Mór. One of Ireland’s most priceless and unique islands. We’re looking at how to best improve access for visitors

Castletown isn't just any green space; it holds immense cultural, historical, and environmental significance for our community. Protesters are currently on-site, but they need more support! We must protect our cultural, historical, and environmental heritage.2/2

Great research on display at the 13th International Passive Sampling Workshop and Symposium. I am delighted to share our projects progress into using @chemcatcher passive samplers for pharmaceutical detection in surface waters.

The WHO has estimated that antimicrobial resistance could cause 10 million deaths each year by 2050. The presence of antibiotics in wastewater and rivers will only increase our environmental exposure to resistant bacteria.

I hope more people get out and look at our rivers, you'd be supprised how much life you see. Of course only if the rivers water quality is suitable for life.

Here are the results I received from the lab I sent the water sample to. I'll have a look at EQS (environmental quality standards) guidelines as soon as I have time. In the meantime I'm sending it out for whomever is interested and would like to comment. #ryeriverpollution

As I mentioned before in regards to this test. The samples were taken a few hours after the suspected release. So samples may have been diluted. Thankfully it seems that PAH, detergents and heavy metals were not at high concentrations (at the time of sampling)

This would be one of the worst outcomes which I can think of for the Rye River pollution. A farmer in County Monaghan Farmer who polluted a river with silage effluent got a € 400 fine legal fees. How can we protect our rivers if the fines are so low. fishinginireland.info/2022/o…

Yesterday was a great day for river water sampling. These samples will go on to help build a profile on the global presence of pharmaceuticals in rivers. See here for more ⬇️

The source has been identified and the situation is being addressed. Thankfully it was not an intentional release. Cleanup operations are underway. Thanks for following up Vanessa.

Dylan, KCC have found that this latest spill related to a vehicle which went on fire resulting in the spillage of some diesel into a gulley & ultimately into the river via a storm water pipe. Owners arranging for river & pipe cleaning. Previous pollution inves is ongoing.
