Huge thanks to Paddy Brow for talking to me about his incredibly honest report about the pollution pouring into Belfast Lough. Not just an environmental issue, it’s putting recreation ‘at stake’, impacting shellfish and stopping homes being built 👇 www.belfastlive.co.uk/news/norther...

I was delighted to be invited to celebrate 15 years of the PILS project NI at a special evening in Belfast Europa. Interesting to hear Lady Chief Justice Siobhan mention climate/environment as a growing area of law 👩‍⚖️ Congrats to all the team and huge thanks for everything you’re doing
