Book Launch: Troubled Waters by Tommy Greene

TROUBLED WATERS: How Lough Neagh is Being Destroyed by Corporate Greed and Political Neglect Join us in the bookshop for an evening with Tommy Greene to celebrate the launch of his new book, Troubled Waters. Tommy will be in conversation with local journalist Sam McBride, and the event will also feature special guest speaker Bernadette Devlin McAliskey. ***Book your free ticket here*** About the book: In the summer of 2023, the people of the UK and Ireland were stunned when a foul-smelling green algae bloom blanketed the surface of Lough Neagh – the largest freshwater body on these islands – suffocating aquatic life and signalling an unprecedented environmental disaster. Troubled Waters is a damning exposé, which uncovers the shocking destruction of the lough, source of almost half of Northern Ireland’s drinking water and a place steeped in historical and cultural significance. Award-winning journalist Tommy Greene delves deep into a gripping tale of greed, corruption, ineptitude and environmental catastrophe that has unfolded in plain sight against a backdrop of governmental instability and systematic cover-ups. With unrivalled access to the story, Greene exposes the fierce battle that will determine the future of this once-thriving ecosystem which now teeters on the brink of ecological collapse.
