Minister Bruton, the IDA, and an industry group hail Amazon plan to tap Co Cork windfarm

Climate Action Minister Richard Bruton, the IDA, and a wind farm business group have all hailed the announcement by retail giant Amazon that it will tap power from wind turbines in Co Cork.

Amazon said that after a Donegal plan announced earlier this year, it was its second project in the Republic to help feed the growing demand for energy from its data centre facility and bases here, which employ 2,500 people.
