Amazon gets go ahead to build two new data centres in north Dublin despite objections

Amazon has received the go ahead to build two new data centres in north Dublin despite objections from environmental groups.

The groups are concerned that the new centres would put even more pressure on energy supplies and will have a negative impact on the environment. Environmental groups Gluaiseacht and Not Here Not Anywhere have objected to the proposal.

It's estimated that between 15 and 58 staff will work at the site while up to 400 will be employed during construction. The two centres are being developed on a 3.75 hectare site in Clonshaugh Business and Technology Park in North Dublin.
