Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action
Supporting a Just Transition: Discussion
Mr. Declan Hughes:
Data centres are mentioned as one potential area. It is the third action. As the Deputy will know, data centres have a very strong focus on ensuring that they use and invest in renewable energy. The Government has produced a statement on the development of data centres. These centres are a key part of ensuring we can support the 120,000 jobs in the ICT sector, which comprises software, data management, call centres, etc. The sector needs server farms or data centres.
