Amazon has secured planning permission for two new data centres in north Dublin, despite objections from environmental groups which expressed concern that it would place further pressure on limited energy supplies and have an adverse environmental impact.
Dublin City Council has approved an application made by Amazon through Colliers Properties for permission to construct two new data centres on a 3.75-hectare site in Clonshaugh Business and Technology Park.
A division of the US multinational, Amazon Web Services, already has a data centre at the same location.
