Next local and general election manifestos will be some variant of
"Vote #1 for
Bigger walls to keep sea out
More road development to make sure people can still drive
Extra sandbags
More drainage works to move water along quicker"
This is all I see happening

Talk to anyone who hunts in Ireland and they will tell you its near limit in terms of numbers culled
And this isn't to touch the tricky tricky issue of hunting rights being sold to recreational hunters waiting for that one stag and who is selling them 👀

Finally, the FRS deer management plan is based on voluntary cooperation between very low hunter numbers and farmers who are wary of another scheme so will it work?
Only really one HCAP course ran in Midlands so not very welcoming to people in Kerry, Cork, Galway, Donegal where hotshots are.

As Groundwork have pointed out - if you told farmers they won't be allowed graze animals on hills in 30 years - uproar from politicians.
You tell them rhodo will stop them grazing hills in 30 years - silence from politicians.

Must point out rhodo grows in areas where grazers removed/pressure reduced - this tends to be used as an argument against natural succession and for continuous management, when its not the case.
