BREAKING: Northern Ireland Environment Agency pulls water pollution limits set for Dalradian gold mine, telling public inquiry chiefs they got them wrong. Asks (rather angry) PAC carry on regardless.
“How am I supposed to do that?” says lead commissioner.

I was delighted to find native English Bluebells still blooming in Lagan Meadows in Belfast today 🪻✨
Especially, since this nature reserve is under intense assault from numerous escapee species from local gardens.
It is beyond belief that it remains legal to sell Spanish Bluebells in Northern Ireland (with no warning that they are invasive) and that there is no effort at all from the authorities to educate those lucky enough to live beside our precious nature reserves with regard to the damage done by the contents of their gardens.
