Agreed. This was a brilliant report! 💪👏
A must-listen piece that does an excellent job of teasing out the psychology, science, and politics of the Nitrates Derogation.
As Dr. Elaine McGoff says, “We have a phosphorus solution to a nitrates problem.” Maybe it’s time we started working on the nitrates solution? @jessikaroswall.ec.europa.eu

Over the 19 years Ireland has had a derogation from the nitrates directive we have backed ourselves in to a corner. Which now leaves us having productive and economically viable farms or cleaner rivers and lakes, but not both.

The Arena team produced this remarkable programme yesterday. It is a beautiful tribute to an amazing colleauge and friend.
www.rte.ie/culture/2025... - yesterday on Arena, the arts show on @rteradio1.bsky.social we made a programme we didn’t expect to- with authors like Anne Enright and Colm Tóibín and musicians like Gavin Friday- to hail our late, great front man Sean Rocks. You can listen back at the link (I hope!)
Remembering Sean Rocks - the Irish arts community pays tribute
It's been a heartbreaking day, with the Irish arts community mourning a true champion, RTÉ Arena host Sean Rocks.

1. Yesterday I wrote a thread about the dire warnings from food professionals on the state of supply chains. Comfortable folk might find it impossible to imagine an end to the current abundance. But we'd better start imagining it fast.
