South Dublin County Council has refused planning permission to Google Ireland for a new data centre at Grange Castle Business Park in south Dublin.
The council cited what it called "the existing insufficient capacity in the electricity network (grid) and the lack of significant on-site renewable energy to power the data centre" as reasons for refusal.
The scheme was to be the third phase of the Google Ireland data centre campus at Grange Castle Business Park and involves the creation of 800 construction jobs and 50 jobs when operational.
