## Resource

One of the main opponents of a proposed data centre on the outskirts of Ennis has accused its backer of the equivalent of "purchasing indulgences to wipe away sins". The High Court has dismissed the leave to appeal application by objectors to the controversial development, thus clearing the way for the project. Outling his decision, Mr Justice Richard Humphreys said it was "inherently implausible" to condemn the plans as non-climate consistent when the developer has pledged to purchase renewable energy to offset the energy used by the project. Ennis-based physicist Colin Doyle doesn't believe the environment is being prioritised.
