I am aware of one instance where the strategy of a data centre operator was to have two matching plants for security purposes, one in Denmark and one in Ireland. Is it IDA Ireland that is driving this? Is a Minister asking how Ireland will comply with its sustainable targets for 20 years' time if IDA Ireland continues to sell the idea of data centres to Apple and such companies? Is anybody asking whether this is sustainable of not? Ms Steen said that a number of them wanted to buy renewable energy but wind power is not great for continuity. Is one person, or a Department, saying such a number of data centres in 15 years' time would be compatible with where Ireland is going?
