An Taisce, Friends of the Earth and Extinction Rebellion all object to third phase of Grange Castle development
Plans by Google to expand its data centre operations in Dublin would further compromise Ireland’s ability to achieve compliance with carbon budget limits, An Taisce has warned.
Mr O’Callaghan said the proposed data centre would put great pressure on an already strained electricity grid in the Dublin region, particularly in light of the large number of existing and proposed data centres already in the area. The concern for Ireland’s carbon budget programme was shares in a separate objection from Friends of the Earth head of policy, Jerry MacEvilly, who called on the South Dublin County Council to turn down the application.
“This expansion is a disaster for local communities, water shortages, transition to a more sustainable economy, and reaching our climate targets,” Emer Connolly of the environmental group warned. “Environmental groups are watching closely and won’t let this go through easily.”MOST READ
