Facebook brings forward €200m Clonee data centre build

The decision to fast-track the second building — which will now be built concurrently with the first — was taken in response to an increase in demand since Facebook made the initial announcement in January.

The development of the second facility, for which planning permission has also been granted, will bring the total size of the facility to 57,690 sq m — eight times the size of the Aviva Stadium.
