Until there's a general acceptance that transforming an entire landscape from wild forests, bogs, and rivers into farmland, as we've done in Ireland, could have been *designed* to produce flooding, this will only keep getting worse.

My home town has been flooded. This has happened before. A local FG councillor has blamed a tree blocking a river. Imagine that being your takeaway from this, and not the lack of flood protection, river management, warning systems, etc. What a mess.
