Not entirely overlooked or ignored but certainly marginalised. Irish govt funded a small memorial in Friar’s Bush Cemetery for the sesquicentenary of the Famine.
@FeirsteT

[Carl Whyte @CarlJWhyte]

Belfast is the natural location for the National Famine Commemoration next May - when it will take place in Ulster.

Despite tens of thousands of famine deaths in North East Ulster and Belfast being the only place with recorded famine victims from every county in Ireland - the history of the the Famine here is forgotten & ignored.

The proposal has cross-party support & there are no barriers from Belfast's point-of-view to it taking place here.

[Feargal Sharkey @Feargal_Sharkey]

Here's how you do it, NOT, welcome to Northern Ireland and how they protect the largest lake on the island of Ireland or the United Kingdom.

Poisoned by human sewage and agricultural pollution, what are we doing?!!!

[Irish Association @IrishAssoc]

Lady’s Island Lake in Co Wexford and Lough Neagh are the most stark examples of an environmental crisis across the island. How do we solve this crisis? What shared learning / solutions might exist ?

[Virgin Media News @VirginMediaNews]

Lady’s Island Lake in Co Wexford - a protected habitat - is being described as a “dead lake” due to severe pollution.

Campaigners are now calling for a Government taskforce to tackle the crisis at one of Ireland’s largest lagoons.
