AGP Executive Report

Last update: 16 minutes ago

Heat and health planning: A coalition of Irish health experts is urging city councils to publish heat-health action plans, warning that urban heat islands and vulnerable groups face serious physical and mental health risks as extreme heat becomes a local issue. Water stress and fire risk: Met Éireann’s latest status yellow heat warning comes with a six-week hosepipe ban in parts of Ireland, while Cavan firefighters tackled a grass fire at Fleming’s Folly and urged caution during the hot spell. Biodiversity and coasts: A new study says Irish waters are a seasonal refuge for endangered basking sharks, with long-standing hotspots around the Blasket Islands, south Cork and Donegal. Wildlife in churchyards: The Church of England voted against a 30% rewilding motion, but Irish churchyards are highlighted for biodiversity gains. Transport emissions debate: Ireland has enacted law to lift the passenger cap at Dublin Airport, with ministers citing connectivity and “sustainable development” while environmental concerns remain. Sun protection policy: A TD is calling for zero VAT on sunscreen, arguing it should be treated as public health prevention. Outdoor summer ideas: Coillte is promoting forest visits in Donegal, and Love Your Coast’s Clean Coasts competition crowned a Cork otter-and-crab photo as “Photo of the Year.”
