Ireland Confronts Storm Damage And Policy Failures

Storm Chandra struck Ireland this week, causing widespread flooding, 20,000 power outages and at least 40 homes severely damaged in Enniscorthy. Ministers and Met Éireann traded blame over the absence of a Dublin warning, while government critics highlight €28 billion in potential fines and longstanding infrastructure shortfalls. The episode revives debates over flood defenses, commuter ferries and broader climate adaptation policy.
