As part of the FLAP-D market, Ireland holds a strategic role in Europe’s colocation ecosystem, which consists of 35 operational colocation data center facilities as of December 2024. In terms of data center development, Dublin remains the primary data center hub for investment in Ireland, while secondary cities such as Cork, Galway, Wicklow, and Ennis are expected to witness strong growth during the forecast period.

Digital Realty has reported an annualized rental income of about $66.3 million from its nine operational facilities in Ireland. The portfolio’s occupancy rate is around 73.5%, reflecting a vacancy of nearly 26.5%.

Ireland follows the Data Protection Act 2018, which supplements the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and establishes the Data Protection Commission (DPC) as the national supervisory authority. This law aligns with global data protection standards, strengthening investor confidence in the country’s secure digital ecosystem.

Ireland has witnessed a moratorium on the development of new data centres in certain parts of Ireland (especially around Dublin) due to concerns over electricity supply, grid constraints, environmental/climate impact, and renewable energy availability.

Owing to this, there has not been much power capacity addition across the country. The average vacancy rate of data center facilities was less than 5% which is likely to reduce to 3% by 2030.
