Telecity move ‘enhances our data storage reputation’

Ireland’s reputation as a leading data storage centre has been enhanced with the opening of Telecity’s Blanchardstown facility in Dublin. The data centre adds to existing facilities here such as Google’s €75m investment in Dublin and a string of others in the pipeline from other multinationals.

Last month, the internet search engine giant announced plans to add another €150m facility in west Dublin following similar moves by Facebook and Apple earlier in the year.

In February, Apple unveiled its plans for an €850m facility in Athenry, Co Galway, while Facebook was granted planning permission for a €200m centre in Clonee, Co Meath.
