Anger in Athenry as Apple pulls data-centre plans

Apple is to scrap plans for a €850 million data centre in Athenry, Co 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.
