We Irish have always talked about the weather. It’s our great shared obsession - the small talk, the punchline and the meme that does the rounds when the rain refuses to stop.

So, what does climate change actually look like on the ground in Irish communities? And can we keep up with a crisis that’s moving faster than ever
