Extinction Rebellion Ireland opposes Google Ireland's data center in South Dublin due to water shortage, climate target, and sustainability concerns.

Extinction Rebellion Ireland (ERI) warns new Google Ireland data center in South Dublin will face opposition if approved, citing concerns over local water shortages, climate targets, and sustainability. ERI and An Taisce argue the data center could strain Ireland's electricity grid and carbon budget limits, affecting renewable capacity and efforts to reduce emissions. The proposed facility would be the third phase of Google Ireland's campus at Grange Castle Business Park and create 800 construction jobs and 50 operational jobs.
