I have a number of questions on data centres again. With regard to individual applications for data centres, does An Bord Pleanála take into account the cumulative environmental impacts of data centres in general or is it the case that it considers each data centre application individually? For how many data centres has An Bord Pleanála refused applications? I do not mean cases where some changes were made. How many have been refused permission?

My next question is on areas where An Bord Pleanála has seen multiple applications for data centres, whether on the same site or in the same locality or area. Has An Bord Pleanála approved or refused these multiple applications?
