That’s a shame, Ireland’s failure to invest in its infrastructure and lack of strategic planning and growth mindset will backfire badly in the future.
Our energy grid can’t sustain this level of industry and housing is being impacted by grid constraints, our transition to renewables is at a snails pace, we are at practical full employment levels, we’ve a shortage for construction workers, Amazon have destroyed high street retail..
This is probably good news?
This should really ring every alarm bell in government. The lack of infrastructure is slowing down job creation and growth……
So the government is going to turn away 10 of billions of investments over the next few decades at least because it doesn’t like the idea of nuclear energy???
This would not have generated 500 **long-term** jobs.
It would have been 500 construction jobs, which we don’t need as we’re chronically short of construction workers; and probably a mid double figures number of ongoing jobs. It’d have been even less if it had been a data centre, which also get the construction figure reported a lot.
Crap reporting, but that’s now the norm here unfortunately.
And this is also a reason housing isn’t being built. The infrastructure is an utter joke
I wish they’d spend some of the surplus we have and actually improve the country, instead we will have nothing, no investment or amenities or services, shit roads, no transport, its really depressing.
If our government was in charge of the Sahara desert , we’d have a shortage of sand in 5 years.
There’ll be no slop generation then, I’ll tell the children
This will become a bigger issue in the future. Some AI Data Centres use more electricity than entire cities.
“Buy hey we have dozens of data centres…!”
