Micheál Martin (FF), Cork South-Central

I thank the Deputy for raising a very serious issue. I will speak to the Ministers with responsibility. We need to accelerate work on coastal protection across the country but obviously in the locality identified by the Deputy as part of a wider national adaptation plan. Climate change is here. It is not something that will happen in 2050 or 2040. It is happening right now. It is affecting food production but, above all, it is having a significant impact on coastal erosion and people's homes. I acknowledge that and will talk to the Ministers concerned.
