It was great to see the Tánaiste visit my home town of Drogheda last week. I notice he visited the Mill Enterprise Centre. This facility is very close to my heart as I have been involved with it for a long number of years in a range of different respects. The Tánaiste will know IDA Ireland recently purchased significant lands in Drogheda. Would it be the preference of the Tánaiste that IDA Ireland, an agency for which the Tánaiste is responsible, would locate data centres on the site? We have one already and speculation is mounting that applications will soon arrive for two additional centres. Would the Tánaiste prefer data centres or other forms of productive and more jobs-rich enterprises to be located on the new IDA Ireland site?
