I am in the building. My questions have been asked but I have a concern. The Government is speaking about building a data centre in Celbridge in my constituency. Professor McMullin spoke about a moratorium. Carers in Celbridge are worried about brownouts and blackouts because they care for children who need oxygen, nebulisers, heists and other essential equipment. Does he think the political will is there to address how serious the climate crisis and the supply crisis are?
