The toxic algae has led to many fishermen’s livelihoods struggling and some tourism ventures also suffering as people avoid the lough to stay safe. The ‘Loughshore Stands Up’ demonstration on Sunday aims to urge the Stormont Executive to urgently tackle pollution at the lough. Andy McGibbon of The Bonnevilles said: “I'm going to be playing this with a full band of amazing musicians next Sunday and it free people, FREE I SAY.
