Irelands big pull to these companies is to not tax them as much as other countries.

  That said, once built and lit up, it's hard to move a data center to another country.

    Like 90%+ cost of a dc is actual computers which are pretty shippable

    Yep, seen a data-centre move happen at work (from a distance - I wasn't effected). For a business with cross-data centre redundancy and no allowable down-time for core business, it was at least a year-long project I think. All for a data-centre in the same city.

      A year isnt very long considering sums involved here. At a certain hyperscaler a full dc build out took 2-3 years but we heard that aws did that in a year all in. And also musk proved you can do it literally over holiday break but you don’t have to go that extreme - just dont let cya pmcs do it
