Mr. Martin Shanahan:

Cloud computing, AI and the processing of big data are all part of IDA Ireland's strategy because that is where the world is going, where enterprises are going, and where the valuable jobs will be going. Data centres will be key to underpinning that. Where companies need data-centre solutions, we will engage in that regard. I have already told other Deputies that the centres are unlikely to be located in Dublin and along the east coast; they are likely to be located beyond those regions.
