Data Centres
Dail Éireann — 2025-04-10
============================================================

Alan Dillon (FG), Mayo

-----to energy and efficiency measures. We are certainly committed and have said that we will ensure we have clear principles for sustained data centre development. We published our statement on the role of data centres in Ireland's enterprise strategy. We want clearer guidance for decision makers in the planning process. We also want to encourage the data centre sector to implement decarbonised energy solutions that not just increase efficiency but also decarbonise by design. That is important. It is our preference. We want to transition to a situation whereby we have renewable energy sources close to any of these new infrastructural developments.
