‘Celebrity’ seriously
@IrishTimes
The IRA supported by Sinn Fein, viciously destroyed lives, left communities devastated, killed, bombed, maimed, robbed and raped. Absolutely nothing to celebrate

This is virtue signalling at its very best. Maybe start with something that would actually make a difference. There are 53 Data Centres in Ireland, 8 under construction and 26 with planning permission and do we hear a single peep about them? Sharing a few bags of turf though!!!

Data centres have exploded from 5% to almost 20% of our national electricity usage since 2015.
Their consumption almost matched the growth in electricity from wind generation in 2022.
And the government doesn’t seem to have any concerns about this?
