Dublin homeowners living in coast areas have been warned that they may struggle to find home insurance in the future, due to the effects of flooding caused by climate change.
The Sunday Times reports there will be "increased resistance" from insurance firms to provide insurance for coastal homes in Dublin due to the risk of flooding, a sustainable futures expert has said. According to the Office of Public Works (OPW) the Dublin areas most at risk to climate change include Clontarf, Malahide, Portmarnock, Howth and Swords as well as parts of the docklands.
Meanwhile, other areas such as Dun Laoghaire, Sandymount and Booterstown have been listed as being "vulnerable" to the effects of flooding caused by climate change.
