Despite the fact that Ireland has become Apple's main headquarters for Europe and part of the world, due to the low corporate tax, it seems that not all citizens of the country see with good eyes that this multinational does practically what it wants in the country. Since 2015, the guys from Cupertino have been working to build a new data center in Ireland, specifically in Athenry, but when the citizens of the town where it is planned to build it do not express themselves due to the possible ecological damage that may occur, the The problem is that the facilities would be very close to a local nuclear plant. But despite the continuous problems and delays It seems that Apple is willing to build this data center locally.
The citizens of the town have appealed each of the decisions made by the courts and the city council in this regard, decisions that gave the go-ahead to the construction of this data center, but now the case has reached the supreme court of the country and Apple will have to wait until October 12 to see if it finally gets the go-ahead definitively or he has to fight with the residents again.
The population of this located is divided. On the one hand we find users who are obviously interested in the jobs that the construction and operation of the data center would entail, but on the other hand there are users who only they worry about the damage to fauna and flora that its construction can cause. It seems ironic this position considering that near this town there is a nuclear power station ... It seems to me that the citizens in charge of paralyzing Apple's plans in Ireland have a desire for prominence.
