Fair enough to be sceptical water pollution from farming is real, and protecting rivers should never be sidelined. But I also see why the government pushed to extend the derogation: our grass-based farming system is different from much of Europe, and many farms depend on it for viability. Extending the derogation gives farmers stability while they invest in better slurry storage, nutrient management and water-quality protection a compromise that tries to balance rural livelihoods with environmental concerns.
Its because we are improving our water quality? [Recent fish kill](https://www.rte.ie/news/2025/0925/1535384-cork-fish-kill/)
Ugh.
Poor mouth wins again
The Waterford estuary is mainly nitrates.
This is why Lough Neagh is green thus why we have to close some swimming spot in rivers .
And farmers are a massive lobby for their population
Failte Ireland pitch:
“Ireland is so green all our rivers and lakes are green”
Literal bullshit.
We have some lakes that aren’t full of them yet. Still only getting started!
