  Ireland has maybe 1% of land covered by trees. Choping down forest near major city to build datacenter is just bad. There are many free pastures.

    Unless of course the forest is non-native tax-haven pine, the kind of stuff planted in the 70's to allow rock stars, actors and comedians to avoid paying tax. These types of forests generally aren't native and are they're not particularly great at supporting a diverse range of flora and fauna. Re-planting with native deciduous species is a much better thing in the long run environmentally speaking.

    Ireland doesn't that many forests, but it is more like 10% (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_forest_area http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_forest_are..., http://www.thejournal.ie/ireland-forest-area-577152-Aug2012/ http://www.thejournal.ie/ireland-forest-area-577152-Aug2012/). That percentage is going up (http://www.foresteurope.org/documentos/State_of_Europes_Forests_2011_Report_Revised_November_2011.pdf http://www.foresteurope.org/documentos/State_of_Europes_Fore..., figure 5 on page 21; nice map of Europe on page 6, by the way)
