Apple is to scrap plans for a €850 million data centre in Athenry, County Galway.
The project – which was set to create hundreds of jobs – has faced lengthy legal efforts to block it on environmental grounds.
The tech giant says delays in the approval process has forced it to make other plans – and it will not be able to move forward with the data centre.
Paul Keane from the group ‘Athenry for Apple’ says it’s a massive loss.
