The Hard Shoulder Highlights

Do we need to manage our energy needs?

Oonagh Buckley, Secretary General at the Department of Environment, Climate and Energy, has said that data centres had used up all spare electricity capacity, and it was necessary to prioritise demands. The comments come just days after Taoiseach Micheál Martin once again talked up the importance of data centres and AI and criticised critics of the government’s expansion policy… So, do we need to manage our energy needs for the sake of data centres? To discuss, Kieran is joined by Sunday Independent Columnist Conor Skehan, and Sinn Féin MEP for Dublin, Lynn Boylan.
