Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Future Licences and Contracts to Connect Data Centres to the Gas Network: Discussion (15 Nov 2023)

Timmy Dooley: ...in communities, I am concerned that a little bit of that is creeping into the debate on data centres. There is an effort by some to portray data centres as the bad child, something that is destroying our capacity to meet our need for electricity, and there is a failure to recognise what would seem obvious to most, which is that data centres are what filing cabinets were in the 1960s and...

I am sure he will get support from my side of the...

Community Employment Schemes (28 May 2008)

Timmy Dooley: ...of a number of cases involving people who have only one year remaining before they reach retirement age and who because of the six year cap must return to the job-seeker's allowance.
