I will pick up on the role of An Bord Pleanála with regard to climate. Is it fair to say a data centre, which uses a lot of water and would have a high carbon footprint but very little social dividend in the way of employment and community gain after the construction phase, would be a project An Bord Pleanála would look at in terms of climate impact? Might it be part of its role in the future?
