Members of Clare Co Council yesterday rezoned lands for a €400m one million sq ft data centre on the outskirts of Ennis, in spite of local residents' concerns. It will be the largest data centre in the west of Ireland. A planned 200,000 sq ft Apple data centre for Athenry did not go ahead after it was delayed. According to Mr Conneally, the planned data centre will provide 1,000 construction jobs over five years and lead to 200 permanent data centre jobs.
