Ireland are moving closer and closer to renewables with huge sites coming online anually and more getting permission to start. These sites were going to be put somewhere, ireland has a strong tech centre, an eucated work force, an amazingly stable grid and plenty of space to house these.

Why would Ireland push these out, only for them to be built somewhere else with the same downsides and no upsides. Sure on paper Ireland's usage goes up but as a planet, where it is housed makes no difference only how the power is produced.
