My question on multiple centres was whether An Bord Pleanála has given approval for permission from multiple data centres in one area or have they been refused? With regard to taking on board the cumulative environmental impact at national level, Mr. Walsh said it is done at local level instead. It might be for Departments but from the point of view of An Bord Pleanála, we know excessive amounts of water and electricity are used. Look at the reality at present. We are taking water from the Shannon to Dublin because of shortages.
