Let's Go Green with Aisling O'Rourke
Monday, 21 September 2026 - 48 minutes
What does the rejection of a proposed data centre in County Mayo tell us about the growing debate around Ireland’s energy and infrastructure needs?
This week on Let’s Go Green with Aisling O’Rourke on Midlands 103, Caroline O’Doherty, Climate and Science Correspondent with The Irish Times, joins me to discuss An Coimisiún Pleanála’s rejection of plans for a data centre in Killala and the wider questions it raises about data centres in Ireland.
With water an increasingly important resource, Michelle O’Donnell of MOD Consultancy joins me to talk about water conservation and the practical steps we can take to reduce how much we use.
We’ll also hear about the upcoming AGM of the Offaly Climate and Biodiversity Group and some of the work taking place locally on climate and nature.
And as Climate Week gets under way at the United Nations, we’ll look at what’s on the agenda and why the discussions taking place internationally matter here at home.
Tune in every Monday night at 7 pm on Midlands 103 or listen back on your preferred podcast platform.
