One expert said that some Dublin coastal properties might become uninsurable within the next 30 years.

There will be"increased resistance" from insurance companies to cover coastal homes due to the higher risk of serious flooding in the coming years, theClontarf, Malahide, Portmarnock, Howth and Swords are among the areas most vulnerable, according to the Office of Public Works .Sandymount, Booterstown and Dun Laoighre are also at risk, while the OPW says Cork is the place most exposed to risks of catastrophic flooding outside of the capital.

Insurance Ireland has said that some companies have started to integrate climate-change risks into their risk assessments. Cllr Jimmy Guerin is from Howth and he said that the issue is"a cause for genuine concern" as weather conditions become more extreme.Donna Cooney, a Green Party councillor for Clontarf, said the effects of climate change cannot be ignored."We're talking about only decades away", she said."That's how imminent this is."

Would these include the corporate buildings across from the financial center Dublin 3, not far from middle East Wall, why were theses people given planing permission, who will be imprisoned for this miss managed planing permission work of modern art

Quite the interesting topic costal erosion. Surly modelling has been applied to these areas, with different parameters and constraints to examine the affects of possible climate change. With this defence models could also applied..

Sure, give one to me. I'll go and stay there to see what happens in 30 years.

Stop lying 🤥

Sea levels rising since 1990 yet the sea level remains the same…

House prices in these areas will collapse so 😢
