Discussing moratorium on the construction of new data centres

Ireland may be getting a new Environment and Energy Minister soon but its moratorium on the construction of new data centres will remain government policy for the lifetime of this coalition. It means that large technology companies on whom the Irish economy depends, may have to think twice before further investment in this country if they cannot get easy and quick access to terabytes of data relating to their customers. Also, AI continues to drive investment in other countries but may not be possible here due to issues with our digital infrastructure. All topics to discuss with Seamus Dunne, UK&I Managing Director at Digital Realty which is one of the biggest technology companies in the world and part of the S&P 500 index.
