If its not white people no one cares. The sad reality of the World. The Saudis and Iranians have clane shite made of Yemen. And Joe Biden is over giving the Prince a handjob so that he might bring down oil prices.

I’d wager that the vast majority of the people who are suddenly moaning about lack of attention on Yemen had never mentioned Yemen until after February 24th this year.

And I’d bet even more of them wouldn’t be able to write 500 words about that war.

Good thing I don’t fall into that category.

Iraq / Middle East / Murder Thread

Saudi’s have basically invaded Yemen in defence of the Government of Yemen who were getting their asses handed to them by the Shiite rebels. 150,000 troops on the ground. The rebels are backed by the Iranians supposedly so could be interesting to see what happens next.

Its okay to call out hypocracy on all sides.

There hasnt been one data centre approved to be built by this Government mate.

Any data centres being built or that has been approved to be built pre dates the Greens in Government

[habanerocat]

Speaking on RTÉ’s Morning Ireland, she said the question that she would like to ask the Government is how many more data centres will be allowed to be built.

It follows a decision by Dublin City Council to grant planning permission to Collilers Properties, acting on behalf of Amazon Web Services, for two new data centres in Clonshaugh, Co Dublin.

The development will involve the construction of two data centre buildings, with a gross floor area of around 12,875 square metres and 1,455 square metres respectively, each over two storeys.

While Clare County Council recently granted planning permission for a new €450m data centre campus in Ennis.

[Corksfinedtboy]

Don’t need these
Too many as is
National grid will be affected eventually

[habanerocat]

Ennis data centre first to be approved under new government policy -...

[Little_Lord_Fauntleroy]

Councils can grant permission but eirgrid are not taking applications.

Glad to have cleared this up as its a common mistake that you have made.

[habanerocat]

The new Government Policy Statement on the role of Data Centres in Ireland’s Enterprise Strategy was published on Wednesday 27th July 2022 and the Ennis Campus is considered to align well with the policies set out therein.

Ok, ill double check my sources but unless eirgrid approve it, its not approved

Some backtrack

What is the attraction to allow these to be built anyway, they don’t provide any employment once opened

Construction back-handers for the boys I’d say. No other country wants them sure.
