I do not know what exact action we can take on this. This is about the lack of infrastructure, the strain this is going to put on the grid and the sheer volume of data centres that we have in this country. We have to bear this in mind unless other members have suggestions on what else we can do. The fact that there is no national oversight is worrying because it is only in years to come that we will be landed with this problem. This should be borne in mind when we are compiling our report on the hearing with An Bord Pleanála. I will be happy by all means to hear suggestions from other members.
