Apple wins approval to begin first stage of Irish data center
EsquireCats said:Having followed the complaints from early on, I believe the locals have done themselves a tremendous disservice.
Once the first data centre is built they'll realise that their (frequently irrational) fears were unfounded - only to endure another 10 years of construction noise and interruption.
They should have just allowed it all to be built simultaneously, it would minimise the traffic impact and dust, while also providing the strongest boost to the economy. Instead it'll be a slow negligible addition over several years with a combination of long term road congestion/interruption for the minimum economic boost.
I'd place bets that after the first is built the rest will be approved in one hit.
You have little understanding of the nature of the location Apple chose to build this. Building all the halls simultaneously would have been a long drawn out nightmare for the locals. This is not an industrial location with roads and infrastructure designed to service it. Personally I share the views of some who have asked why Apple couldn't have built this in an existing business park or similarly zoned area. Plonking this in the middle of a quiet rural setting seems completely inappropriate. You don't seem to appreciate it, but Apple have actually had a very smooth ride with this, despite some articles designed to make it seem otherwise.
This is likely the main route construction traffic will have to use to reach the site:
By taking this approach they have basically said, go ahead lets see if your promises and assurances are met. That seems entirely logical and reasonable to me. There would be plenty of places where locals would have been screaming and protesting not to allow it to be built at all.
