flag UK investigates Northern Ireland over repeated sewage spills into Belfast Lough due to aging infrastructure and poor oversight.

flag The UK’s Office for Environmental Protection is investigating Northern Ireland’s regulators over repeated raw sewage discharges into Belfast Lough, particularly during rainfall, due to outdated infrastructure and inadequate oversight. flag The probe focuses on the Department for Infrastructure, the Department of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs, and the Utility Regulator, assessing their compliance with environmental laws and enforcement of wastewater regulations. flag The OEP cites ongoing pollution as a serious threat to ecosystems, linking it to algal blooms and degraded water quality, and warns of potential legal action if improvements aren’t made.
