I think most evidence would point towards around a metre by 2100. The witnesses can probably guess my next question. The last major coastal change study the OPW has done does not factor that in. Professor Peter Thorne, in a report from Caroline O'Doherty, said what we were announcing was "a plan to make a plan" in terms of dealing with coastal erosion. Our coastal erosion study does not factor in sea level rise currently.
