Communications, transport and health of older people at increased risk from global warming, says EPA

There are 43 significant and immediate climate risks to Ireland, according to the first national risk assessment of the consequences of global warming. They range across all major sectors of the economy, but risk is highest in energy , transport, communications, water security and food production. Climate impacts in one sector, especially linked to critical infrastructure, 'has the potential to cascade and impact on other systems', the assessment warns. It highlights recent storms, Éowyn and Darragh, where electricity, water supply and communications were disrupted simultaneously due to power outages that quickly escalated across regions. READ MORE Published by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) on Wednesday, the assessment also analyses broader societal risks to public health and the country's biodiversity and ecosystems. It identifies and ranks 115 risks arising from climate change that is already happening, stating what should be responded to first. The most significant risks, which require action within the next five years, involves damage to communications and energy distribution infrastructure. The damage is likely to be caused by extreme wind. Separately, there is heightened risk of disruption and damage to buildings and transport infrastructure 'due to extreme wind, coastal erosion and coastal flooding'. We know Ireland is being impacted by climate change already — Laura Burke Additional risks that should be prioritised for further investigation in the next five years include the built environment and human health from flooding and prolonged heat, with older people particularly vulnerable. The assessment is designed to provide the Government, businesses and communities with the best available evidence to inform climate adaptation. It was undertaken with Government departments, State agencies and other stakeholders to assess where, when and how climate risks are likely to materialise. The assessment will guide development of sectoral adaptation plans, where key actions are set out and further investigation of threats are carried out by key government departments. 'We know Ireland is being impacted by climate change already,' said EPA director general Laura Burke. 'This comprehensive assessment highlights the need for additional urgent action to ensure Ireland is sustainably resilient to risks that we currently face, and will increasingly experience, in coming decades. '[It] clearly shows how risks cascade across sectors. Recent events, such as Storms Darragh and Éowyn, demonstrated how damage to critical infrastructure such as energy, water supply, transport and communications networks in turn give rise to impacts on human health, biodiversity and the financial system.' Addressing these risks in an integrated and consistent way will be key to achieving 'climate resilience' for the entire country, Ms Burke said. Assessing climate risk is a key component of risk management and strategic planning, said Dr Eimear Cotter, director of the EPA Office of Evidence and Assessment. [ Scientists accuse Ireland of 'accounting trick' to justify livestock emissions Opens in new window ] [ We cannot continue with dirty, scarce and expensive energy to power our society Opens in new window ] 'The assessment underscores the need for immediate action in the next five years to enhance the resilience of Ireland's critical infrastructure to climate change. The risks with the most consequential and highest urgency ratings relate to extreme wind, coastal erosion and coastal flooding,' she said. Dr Cotter added that the findings must ensure adaptation planning in Ireland 'is appropriately integrated across sectors'. The assessment does not focus on environmental pressures, such as pollution, habitat destruction or population growth. However, 'these pressures will be increasingly compounded by climate impacts as time goes on'. The report is available on the EPA website and the Climate Ireland adaptation portal.

‘Livelihoods are at stake': High Court to decide this week on lifting of Skellig Michael boats suspension

A High Court judge has said he will decide this week whether or not to lift a suspension on boating permits needed to ferry people to and from Skellig Michael, saying 'people's livelihoods are at stake'. The permits have not been issued while legal proceedings are before the courts in the form of a judicial review of the tendering process. At the High Court on Tuesday, Mr Justice Garrett Simons said he was 'staggered' by the assertion by lawyers for the Office of Public Works (OPW) that it would need six months to prepare the case. He ordered the case would be heard next month and would get 'top priority'. READ MORE The granting of permits to successful applicants is on hold pending a judicial review taken against the OPW by two companies who were unsuccessful in their applications to the government body for the 2025 season, which runs from May to the end of September. The OPW had run a competition in late 2024 to award 15 boating permits for summer 2025 to serve the Co Kerry island, which was chosen as a film location for the Star Wars movies The Force Awakens and The Last Jedi. The OPW has said that under Irish and EU law it was precluded from issuing permits for the 2025 summer season until legal proceedings were resolved. Skellig Michael Boat Trips and Atlantic Endeavour Limited both dispute the process underpinning the granting of the licences, alleging it to be 'deficient' and 'without transparency'. They have been granted permission for the challenge. David Dodd, for the plaintiffs, told Mr Justice Simons nobody wanted the boats not to visit the island. He said permits could be granted by the court in an interim fashion and the issuing of a one-season permit was not a 'contract' as contended by the OPW. Mr Dodd said he was resisting a suggested 'five-year framework' on the OPW's granting of the permits as part of a contract, but the plaintiffs also wanted to see the boats out. He said the OPW in applying to the court to have the suspension lifted had referred to a 'contract' having to be in place for the boats to take to sea. There should be no such 'contract' and permits issued were akin to planning permission or a gun permit being granted, neither or which, he said, were 'contracts' nor necessitated frameworks. A permit is a statutory one without an offer or an acceptance as found in a contract, he said. Whether or not this granting amounted to a 'contract' was a matter for the full hearing of the main case, Mr Dodd said. 'We are happy, however, for the suspension to be lifted,' he said. Mr Justice Simons asked Andrew Beck SC, for the OPW, how it was looking for six months to prepare for this 'most straightforward case of competition for licences'. Mr Beck said there was discovery of documents needed, amendments to make and a possible issue around cross-examination. The judge said he was 'staggered' the case would take up to six months to get on. Mr Justice Simons said he would rule on Thursday whether or not he would lift the suspension of the permits. He adjourned the main hearing to July 21st.

‘Dad, you have to get me a Brentford jersey now': Ringmahon Rangers get behind Caoimhín Kelleher's move

Caoimhín Kelleher is the gift that keeps on giving for his former club Ringmahon Rangers. Confirmation of the 26-year-old's move from Liverpool to Brentford on Tuesday was a happy occasion for the club, seeing one of their own sign the dotted line to become a first-choice goalkeeper at the west London club. But the news was made all the more sweet by a windfall which will now be making its way to the Cork club thanks to a sell-on clause in his original deal signed with Liverpool 10 years ago. Liverpool are reportedly in line to receive £12.5 million (€15 million) for Kelleher, which could increase to £18 million (€21 million) with performance-related add-ons. Twenty per cent of that sum will go back to Ringmahon. READ MORE 'It's going to be substantial,' Ringmahon chairman Paul Higgins says. 'Exactly how much, we don't know, but's it's going to set us up for long into the future.' 'I'm very happy. Very happy for Caoimhín himself, first of all, and his family,' Higgins says, adding it's a very proud day for the club. Ringmahon, which boasts almost 500 members, has made significant investments in its facilities in recent years, but this windfall will give the club more scope to provide for its burgeoning numbers. 'Over the last few years, we've had kids coming into our academy and they want to be the next Caoimhín Kelleher, or they want to be the next Alan Browne [Sunderland], the next Franco Umeh [Crystal Palace], Jadon Umeh [Benfica]. It's great. 'It's easy for us to go back to the kids and say, if you work hard, you have a chance at that. We have photos of the boys when they were younger in teams, working hard. [Current players at Ringmore] see all that and it'll drive them all on to bigger things.' And the Kelleher-effect hasn't gone unnoticed. 'It's bringing numbers in their droves,' Higgins says. 'It's brilliant. And it's huge numbers that want to be goalkeepers, which is probably a problem position for everyone for years.' 'We always believed that [Caoimhín] would be a success,' he adds. 'But I don't think anyone could have expected him to be so successful to the extent that he is, because he's well thought of and well regarded among all his fellow players.' And Higgins feels now is the right time for Kelleher to leave Merseyside. 'He's after winning every single trophy he can at Liverpool. At Brentford now, he's going to go in, he's going to be number one, he's going to be Irish number one. It's a great stepping stone for his future, so it's huge for him.' Wherever this stepping stone may lead for Kelleher, his loyal Ringmahon supporters will follow. 'My daughter texted me, she's only 11, and she says, 'Dad, you have to get me a Brentford jersey now',' Higgins laughs. Cork will surely soon be awash with a red and white jersey of a new kind, one proudly bearing the Brentford bee.
