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

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.

@willmurphy29 @InlandFisherIE @CathMurphyTD @EcofactEcology Sadly the damage is done, and there isn't much we can do to resolve the situation.

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.

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 ⬇️ @EMPIRE_DCU @DCUWater @John_Wilkinson4 @AlistairBoxall #globalpharms
