There is a great deal of talk about data centres at the moment and that we should be telling them to leave or that they should not be expanding.

Timmy Dooley: On data protection and item 10, the detail of benefit, accruing including goods and services, by RTÉ personnel from commercial partners.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Engagement with the Commission for Regulation of Utilities (9 May 2023)

Timmy Dooley: I want to follow on from that point about the usage of smart meters. I get the issue of the protection of data.

I used to be able to do it with telecommunications companies...

It needs greater support from the State through laws that would require a much greater volume...
