An Ennis Labour Party activist is expressing concern that large scale data centres wouldn’t bring the employment benefits to Clare that are promised.

However, Labour’s Séamus Ryan says these would only be short-term jobs during the construction and the reality would be very different.
He feels any potential data centre will be nothing more than a grand announcement.
