Ireland 🇮🇪
Data centres have been driving up the price of electricity in Ireland and added €1.4 billion to overall household electricity bills through rising and constant demand on the grid. The public are paying the price for big tech greed.

This college dropout never had a real job in his life. He's now the Minister for Finance. He failed spectacularly in all of his previous Ministerial roles & left a trail of ruination in his wake. Harris was handpicked to be a politician, RTÉ made sure of that
Handpicked Harris👇

Jeffrey Sachs spoke to an audience in Dublin today.
As the Govnt fails to call out the brutal, illegal wars of the US Israel, he reminded us of JFK's speech to the Dáil in 1963.
'From Cork to Congo, Galway to the Gaza strip', Ireland must be the voice of the weak at the UN.
