Do we need to manage our energy needs?

29 May - 10 mins
Podcast Series The Hard Shoulder Highlights

Oonagh Buckley, Secretary General at the Department of Environment, Climate and Energy, has said that data centres had used up all spare electricity capacity, and it was necessary to prioritise demands.

To discuss, Kieran is joined by Sunday Independent Columnist Conor Skehan, and Sinn Féin MEP for Dublin, Lynn Boylan.
