Ms Mary Gurrie:

The first question is whether they are abstracting water or are on a mains water supply. If a data centre is on a mains water supply, it would be a commercial customer of Irish Water. If a data centre is abstracting water from its own source, it should be registered. Off the top of my head, I am not sure how many, if any, data centres are registered. We can check and provide the information to the committee, but I suspect based on their locations that many of them would be on the mains water supply.
