Description:

Ciaran Hancock is joined by Irish Times Business Reporter Ian Curran to talks us through what those latest CSO figures mean, while Director of Cloud Infrastructure Ireland, Michael McCarthy and Energy Researcher at UCC, Paul Deane, give the pros and cons of so many data centres setting up here.
