The idea that it's environmentalists vs. farmers is a LIE.

Always learning out here. I followed a sweet scent wafting in the breeze and it led me to a great white mat of Scurvy-grass. This bitter coastal plant was once eaten by sailors to get a good dose of vitamin c, and to combat gout, arthritis and more.

What does the latest European climate judgment mean for Ireland?

Keohanes submitted their FIR.
One of the things asked for was a survey of Freshwater Pearl Mussels. This was also asked for during pre-planning in Feb 2021.
3 years later and still no survey done. This is disappointing, the fwpm is endangered and widespread in the Bandon river.
