Is the UK’s Largest Lake Dying?

Available for over a year

Lough Neagh is unmissable on the map. It's a huge body of water right in the centre of Northern Ireland, which supplies half of Belfast's drinking water -- and 40% of Northern Ireland's overall. But this colossal lake is facing a calamitous problem: a massive growth of toxic bacteria, known as blue-green algae. Campaigners are warning the damage to Lough Neagh might be beyond the point of no return, and recently held a 'wake' for the lake - to highlight their concerns that it is dying. For 5 Minutes On, the BBC's Ireland Correspondent, Chris Page, has been out on the water to investigate. (Image credit: PA)
