So I was sent an article on LinkedIn which basically talks about having to move coastal cities in the US due to climate change and flooding. I’m curious as to where Ireland would move its cities to? Most, if not all our cities are coastal cities.

You’d need to move Dublin into the Wicklow mountains, turning it into some sort of mountain citadel. I think we could blast out a place and do a whole Small Minded Giants on it with a dome and all.
Cork just needs to move up the hills a little.
Galwegians will just need to grow gills.
Just make friends with the dutchies and throw them a couple billion. They’ll sort it out
There was a prophetic song many years ago that touched on this topic. It predicted that in one thousand years we’d be living under the sea. Everything was the same though, despite all this water.
Move the city centre to Tallaght.
The entry to Cork harbour is only 1 km wide, I’m thinking we could dam it. https://i.imgur.com/7vcqEFL.png
That is if the surrounding land is high enough, I have no idea, could probably work for a while.
I’d move Dublin to Laois, Galway to Offaly, Cork to Dublin, Waterford to Limerick, Limerick to Kilkenny and Kilkenny to Offaly.
So we’re getting rid of Cork and Waterford?
While we are at it, could we move Roscommon to the heart of the fucking sun?
