Season 2 Episode 5: The Reluctant Interventionist
The second of three episodes with veteran environmental campaigner Dean Blackwood. We talk about Dean’s lifelong connections with the supposedly protected River Faughan, his decades-long career as a town planner and how, since leaving, he has used his experience and insider knowledge to challenge the irregularities and flawed practices in the NI civil and public service that were causing so much environmental damage to the river. Together with the Faughan Anglers, these concerns were brought before the European Commission and the UN under the Aarhus Convention, and out of this has come The Gathering, a loose collective of place protectors, who are all facing and challenging the systemic institutional failures and professional corruption across Northern Ireland in pursuit of environmental justice.

Season 2 Episode 4: Walking the River Faughan
On a rainy afternoon close to Christmas 2023, we walked along the banks of the River Faughan with veteran environmental campaigner Dean Blackwood and his dog Lola. In the first of three episodes recorded with Dean, here we talk about fish and fishing, the Rights of Nature and Dean’s knowledge and experience of this river and its tributaries, designated as both an Area of Special Scientific Interest and a Special Areas of Conservation and home to Atlantic Salmon, Otter and Old Sessile Oak Woods. We also talk about the pollution from the notorious illegal Mobuoy dump and the emotions stirred by Northern Ireland’s planning and reinforcement officials’ failure to protect this beautiful river.
