I have my own views on this issue, in terms of what data centres can bring and the energy demand they can bring that therefore in turn one hopes will result in greater investment in renewables from the same people who are creating that demand.

If one has their NIMBY hat on and says we have done our bit with data centres in little old Ireland just put them somewhere else; does that impact how AI is adapted or implemented in Ireland? How does that impact Ireland, if that was a decision taken?
