Dublin-based ATC Logistics has won the 2025 AWS Ireland Horizon Award in recognition of the company's outstanding contribution to employment, international service expansion, and for helping to elevate Ireland's reputation as a world-leading location for cloud infrastructure. Founded in 1979, ATC Logistics has transformed from a family business into a global leader in data centre operations management.Headquartered in Baldonnell, County Dublin, ATC Logistics provides comprehensive B2B solutions for data centre operations, including secure transport services, installation management, decommissioning expertise, and data centre relocation solutions. ATC Managing Director, Keith Young said: "The Horizon Award is tremendous recognition for the ATC team and their dedication to excellence in logistics and supply chain operations. Working closely with AWS has helped us transform from a local Irish business into an internationalplayer, while staying true to our core values of reliability and customer focus." Now in its third year, the award was presented by Neil Morris, AWS Ireland Country Lead, at an AWS Business Breakfast in Dublin. The event brought together a range of companies, service providers, and stakeholders to discuss Ireland's cloud infrastructure industry. The event featured insights from Barry Cowen MEP, Muireann Lynch, Senior Research Officer at Economic and Social Research Institute, and Jenny Melia, Executive Director of Enterprise Ireland. A highlight of the event was the panel discussion, "Irish Cloud Ecosystem Firms and the AI Infrastructure of the Future", which examined Ireland's evolving role in global data centre infrastructure as AI investments surge worldwide. Barry Cowen MEP, said: "Ireland has established itself as a European leader in data centre development, combining our natural advantages, such as climate, with strong technical expertise. What's particularly encouraging to see is how this sector has created a ripple effect throughout the Irish economy, supporting thousands of jobs not just in construction and operations, but across a whole ecosystem of Irish suppliers and service providers. We're seeing local companies develop world-class capabilities and export their expertise globally." Enterprise Ireland's Jenny Melia provided perspective on the broader impact of data centre investment in Ireland over the years, stating: "Over a short space of time, the data centre sector has become a significant part of Ireland's economy. Using the skills that they have developed on Irish projects, many of these data centre firms have gone on to expand their business internationally." Neil Morris, Country Lead for AWS in Ireland, emphasised the importance of firms like ATC Logistics: "Irish companies have shown themselves to be innovative and willing to adapt, take risks, and grow as the industry changes. The data centre suppliers, which we recognise through the Horizon Award, have been pivotal in helping to establish Ireland as a world-leading location for cloud infrastructure." In Ireland, AWS employs over 4,200 employees directly, and around 6,500 people in total across Amazon and AWS. According to Indecon International Economic Consultants, there are also more than 3,000 working for AWS suppliers and sub-contractors. These numbers reflect real opportunities for professionals in Ireland's growing tech sector. AWS investment has enabled over 500 homegrown suppliers to expand and grow in Ireland and abroad. This includes major constructioncontractors, mechanical and electrical suppliers, professional services and a wide range of logistics services provided by local businesses. By working with AWS, many companies have been able to develop specialist, world-leading expertise, meaning those Irish firms are now market leaders in providing materials and services to data centres globally. In 2023, contracts won by suppliers and subcontractors to AWS, for the development of cloud infrastructure overseas, increased to an...

Paschal Donohoe said today in his role as the Eurogroup finance Minister chairman that the group still has to assess whether or not to cut off the remaining oil and gas supplies coming from Russia. This confused many who were perplexed that the Eurogroup is still taking oil and gas from Russia.

In this episode, I am joined by Linus Mattauch of the Technical University of Berlin. Linus is also a research affiliate with the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research and the Institute for New Economic Thinking at the University of Oxford. Linus speaks to us about his work on making carbon pricing work for citizens. We discuss ways in which we can maximise the political acceptability of a carbon tax. This includes framing and the use of carbon tax revenues to make carbon taxes palatable to citizens. We go through some advice for policymakers, conditional on the political landscape that they face. Linus is working at the cutting edge of this field of research so I am very grateful to him for taking the time to speak to us. This episode is a complement to the previous carbon pricing episode with Muireann Lynch of the ESRI – please do check that out if you get a chance. In that episode, we go through the basic argument in favour of carbon pricing. Now we are taking this a step further – how best can we translate the theory into practice, taking into account some of the obstacles we face in the real world. .

What is this carbon tax you have to pay - and how does it work?

Budget 2020 didn't set the world on fire - but it did contain an element that's aimed at making sure the world doesn't burn in climate change hell. That was an increase in the rate of carbon tax, by €6 a tonne (bringing the carbon tax rate up to €26 per tonne). The tax hike came into effect at midnight on Tuesday, meaning that petrol and diesel prices have now risen across the country. Meanwhile the rise in the tax for home-heating fuels will kick in from May 2020. Finance Minister Patrick Donohoe said the increase in the carbon tax will raise €90 million in 2020. But what does the carbon tax do, and how much will you end up paying? That's what we look at in this week's The Explainer podcast. Joining presenter Sinéad O'Carroll is reporter Gráinne Ní hAodha and Muireann Lynch, Research Officer at the Economic and Social Research Institute.
