Global climate change means Ireland is getting warmer and wetter - according to a new report.
The study from the Environmental Protection Agency, Met Eireann and the Marine Institute, comes just days after a global report from the IPCC showed climate change is a 'Code Red for humanity'.
Today's localised report shows sea level rises around the coast and a longer growing season on land.
John Hanley, Climate Scientist from Met Eireann, says climate change in Ireland is in line with the planet.
"Ireland's temperature has increased by .9 degrees Celsius, which is comparable to the global increase of about 1.1 degrees Celsius, outlined by the IPCC report this week.
"Ireland's rainfall has increased in line with that increase in temperature, and Ireland has also observed an increase in sea level in line with what has been observed globally."
