My Department is aiming to complete the review of the 'Government Statement on the Role of Data Centres in Ireland's Enterprise Strategy' in the first half of 2022, in line with the commitment made in Climate Action Plan  2021. The Statement was first published in 2018. 

My Department has begun engagement with key stakeholders in this regard, and will continue to work closely with the Department of the Environment, Climate and Communications, EirGrid, the CRU, IDA Ireland and others. 

I will ask my officials to contact the person identified, as requested by the Deputy.
