Google’s plans to establish a large data centre in Dublin were recently thwarted by the South Dublin County Council, citing energy consumption and environmental impact concerns. The data centre, expected to operate by 2027, faced issues over the strain on the national power grid and insufficient on-site renewable energy, sparking a broader debate about sustainable digital growth.
