New research from Maynooth University has shown that sea levels in Dublin Bay rose at approximately double the global rate between 1997 and 2016.

Studies led by the Hamilton Institute and ICARUS Climate Research Centre at the university generated updated figures for the area stretching across eight decades from 1938 to 2016.
