Short summary
This paper extends and updates the survey of extreme wave events in Ireland that was previously carried out by O'Brien et al. (2013). Events are categorised into storm waves, rogue waves, tsunamis and storm surges. Important questions regarding public safety, services and the influence of climate change are also highlighted. An interactive map that allows the reader to navigate through events can be found here.
