Answer

The DAERA Minister established the Lough Neagh Stakeholder forum in December 2024 to ensure that stakeholder views are understood and properly considered during the implementation of the Lough Neagh Action Plan.

My Department participates in the Lough Neagh Stakeholder forum alongside NI Water and is content to be part of any discussions with DAERA on matters within its remit.
