Environment Minister Andrew Muir is to meet the owner of Lough Neagh's bed and soil later this week.

Andrew Muir announced he would meet with the Earl of Shaftesbury during his first minister's question time.

Mr Muir said he was looking forward to a "frank and open" discussion with the earl.

Last year saw the largest freshwater lake in the UK blighted by unprecedented blooms of potentially toxic blue-green algae.

Blue-green algae is a bacteria which can cause skin irritation and sickness in people who come into contact with it, but the biggest risk is to pets, livestock and wildlife.
