Irish officials blocked 93 floodplain developments in six years due to climate-driven flood risks, with no public defences for homes on these sites.
Over the past six years, Irish councillors proposed rezoning nearly 300 flood-prone sites for development, prompting the planning regulator to block or delay 93 projects, including 30 requiring ministerial intervention.
The regulator emphasized growing flood risks due to climate change and warned that development on floodplains endangers residents and worsens flooding downstream.
Minister of State Kevin “Boxer” Moran stated homes on floodplains will not receive public flood defences, urging local authorities to prioritize safety.
Nine additional cases remain under review.
