Supreme Court rejects Galway residents' appeal over Apple data centre first stage approval
The Supreme Court has dismissed an appeal by two local residents over An Bord Pleanála’s approval for the first phase of an €850m data centre in Athenry, plans for which have been since abandoned, by tech giant Apple.
Despite Apple's decision not to proceed with the project, the five-judge court agreed to decide the appeal because of its implications for the Board’s consideration of other data centre developments.
