## Resource

Ireland’s island identity is being forced into the spotlight as climate change threatens two million homes with flooding and erosion, demanding we stop ignoring our maritime reality. Once dismissed as a quaint footnote, our islandness now shapes survival—air travel has dulled our awareness, while political and cultural baggage has tainted the term “insular.” From Father Ted’s Craggy Island to real-world storm surges, the joke is no longer funny. It’s time to embrace our coastal reality, weigh every journey’s environmental cost, and become good island ancestors—before the sea writes our final chapter.
