Photograph: Niall Carson/PAAn Coimisiún Pleanála has granted planning permission to Amazon Web Services (AWS) to construct three data centre buildings in north Dublin. Fingal County Council had initially granted permission for the project in September 2023, but it was stalled after third-party appeals were lodged with the appeals board. The commission granted permission having regard to an existing agreement with EirGrid to provide power to the development and the location of the project within a wider development with an established data centre use. In granting permission, the commission said it adopted the report and recommendations of its own inspector in the case.
