It is much harder now to connect a data centre to the grid. I do not know if anybody has managed in the recent period of time to achieve a new data centre connection. There are a lot of new rules to do with asking data centres to be outside of Dublin and making sure they have sufficient backup and are entirely powered by renewable energy. In other words, rather than an outright moratorium, a lot of new conditions are attached.
