Planning and Development (Climate Emergency Measures) (Amendment) Bill 2021: Second Stage [Private Members]
Dail Éireann — 2021-09-30
============================================================

Gary Gannon (SD), Dublin Central

I will speak on behalf of Deputy Whitmore.
I welcome the opportunity to speak on this Bill.
Yesterday, the Social Democrats introduced a motion calling for a moratorium on data centre development until a full Government strategy was put in place and all necessary analysis was carried out. This was despite objections from the so-called Green Party. All we asked for yesterday was a moratorium until there was an analysis. The analysis does not exist yet.
