Mr. David Rossiter:

I liked the Deputy's framing of the threat response as pulling up the drawbridge. It is worth pointing out this is a challenge for the Irish Government and governments more broadly. We know climate change will lead to more climate-driven migration. We have already seen that in today's world and it will get worse. There will be parts of the world that become less and less inhabitable. That migration issue needs to be seen in the context of how so-called developed economies push against the desire to pull up the drawbridge. We are in the early stages in Ireland and need to learn these lessons as quickly as we can because the issue will become more prevalent as time goes on. Unfortunately, that is probably not a solution but it is worth flagging that we need to zone in on the issue as soon as possible.
