Equinix, Inc. (Nasdaq: EQIX), the world's digital infrastructure company®, in the presence of An Taoiseach, Micheál Martin, has announced that it is committing USD $350 million, up to a landmark USD $700 million, to support the construction of a 150,000 sq. ft. advanced manufacturing facility by Hanley Energy. The new facility, located in Dundalk, Co. Louth, will serve as a global hub for manufacturing specialized power equipment essential for Equinix's high performance data centres and AI-driven workloads. The deal covers an initial 5-year period, extendable to 10 years, with a minimum of USD $70 million from Equinix annually, underscoring its long-term commitment to Ireland and the country's role in Equinix's global operations. The partnership with Hanley Energy, which was recently acquired by the American multinational manufacturing company, Jabil, will create hundreds of new roles. Hiring for the Hanley factory has already commenced for an initial 200 engineers and technicians, focused on precision engineering, quality assurance, and lean manufacturing. Apprenticeship and training programs will also be introduced to build future-ready talent in the Louth region. By co-locating production under one roof, Equinix expects to achieve 10–15% faster lead times compared to traditional procurement methods. The facility will manufacture low-voltage switchgear, Power Distribution Units (PDUs), and Remote Power Panels (RPPs), all critical components for reliable and efficient power distribution in data centres worldwide. The building of the new facility, by Hanley Energy, will prioritise low-carbon materials and efficient construction practices. The facility will feature a temperature-controlled testing laboratory – the only one of its kind in Ireland or the UK – which will enable equipment to undergo rigorous endurance and environmental tests. Taoiseach Micheál Martin said: "This significant announcement reinforces Ireland's position as a leader in digital infrastructure and advanced manufacturing. The creation of hundreds of skilled jobs and the introduction of world-class facilities in Dundalk is a major boost for the region and for our national economy." Adaire Fox-Martin, CEO and President, Equinix, said: "This investment builds upon Equinix's longtime presence in Ireland and reflects the strategically important role the country plays in the global technology ecosystem. Our expansion in Dundalk further strengthens our ability to meet growing customer demand while creating local jobs and supporting the community." Peter Lantry, Managing Director, Equinix Ireland, said: "This is a huge win for Ireland and the Louth region – highlighting the world class engineering talent that Ireland continues to develop. By securing our supply chain and investing in local manufacturing, we're not only accelerating delivery but also creating hundreds of high-skilled jobs. Importantly, we remain committed to Ireland, continuing to invest and grow our presence here. This reinforces our long-term presence and ensures we can meet the growing demand for digital infrastructure worldwide." Hanley Energy delivers seamless integration from design to manufacturing under one roof, backed by proven expertise in engineering and testing. The new state-of-the-art facility includes Ireland and the UK's only independent temperature rise test lab certified by Intertek as an Enhanced Level 3 SATELLITE Customer Testing Facility. This capability ensures compliance and performance at the highest global standards. John O'Driscoll, CEO, Hanley Energy, said: "Partnering with Equinix on this transformative project highlights the strength of Irish engineering and innovation. Our advanced testing facilities and expertise will ensure that the equipment produced here meets the highest global standards, supporting data centres worldwide." Michael Lohan, CEO, IDA Ireland, said: "Today's announcement by Equinix demonstrates Ireland's continued attractiveness as a location for ...

Nuacht Mhall. Príomhscéalta na seachtaine, léite go mall.*Inniu an t-aonú lá is tríocha de mhí Eanáir. Is mise Sibéal Dempsey.Tharla roinnt eachtraí a bhain le gníomhairí ICE de chuid Donald Trump an tseachtain seo. Dé Sathairn seo caite, lámhachadh agus maraíodh saoránach na Stát Aontaithe darbh ainm Alex Pretti in Minneapolis. Tá an bheirt ghníomhairí feidearálacha a bhí páirteach ann curtha ar saoire ó shin. Mar sin féin, leanann an marú roinnt maruithe agus gabhálacha eile ag na gníomhairí agus spreag sé agóidí sa stát. Gabhadh roinnt léirsitheoirí ag na hagóidí seo ansin. Bhí ionsaí ann freisin ar ionadaí Daonlathach in Minnesota, Ilhan Omar, a bhí ag labhairt ar an ábhar deireadh a chur le ICE, chomh maith le coimhlintí poiblí idir Donald Trump agus méara Minnesota. Dúirt an méara gurb é jab na bpóilíní daoine a choinneáil slán, ní dlíthe inimirce feidearálacha a fhorfheidhmiú.Tá Matt Damon, réalta an scannáin The Rip, tar éis trácht a dhéanamh in agallamh le déanaí ar chur chuige Netflix i leith déanamh scannán. Dúirt an t-aisteoir go bhfuil Netflix ag déanamh rudaí níos simplí ionas gur féidir iad a thuiscint agus lucht féachana ag scrolláil ag an am céanna ar a bhfóin phóca. De réir an aisteora, déantar plotaí a athmhíniú trí nó ceithre huaire anois, tar éis brú ón gcraoltóir. Dúirt sé freisin go raibh brú ann chun cuid de na príomhradhairc aicsin a chur níos luaithe sa scannán chun aird lucht féachana a ghabháil níos luaithe sa scannán. Beidh Damon le feiceáil sa leagan nua de sheaneipic na Gréige An Odaisé níos déanaí i mbliana, ach níorbh iad Netflix a léirigh an scannán seo.Fuair suirbhé amach go gcreideann beagnach duine as gach deichniúr Éireannach idir ocht mbliana déag agus naoi mbliana is fiche d'aois gur miotas é an t-uileloscadh, agus creideann naoi déag faoin gcéad eile go bhfuil scála na heachtra áibhéalach. Dúirt seasca a ceathair faoin gcéad de dhaoine fásta gur cheap siad go bhféadfadh rud éigin cosúil leis an uileloscadh tarlú arís na laethanta seo. Ó eisíodh an suirbhé, tá an Taoiseach tar éis cáineadh a dhéanamh ar na leibhéil an-lag feasachta faoin uileloscadh. Dúirt Michael Martin gurbh é an t-uileloscadh an choir is soiléire a doiciméadaíodh i stair an domhain agus go gcaithfear cur i gcoinne an leibhéil seo aineolais agus séanta. Dúirt sé go mbeadh an Roinn Oideachais agus an Roinn Gnóthaí Eachtracha ag obair chun clár oideachais a fhorbairt. Idir an dá linn, tá feachtas conspóideach ar siúl chun Páirc Herzog i Ráth Garbh, atá ainmnithe as iar-uachtarán Iosraelach a tógadh i mBaile Átha Cliath, a athainmniú, mar gheall ar ionradh Iosrael ar Stráice Gaza.*Léirithe ag Conradh na Gaeilge i Londain.

It's been a busy week in Irish politics. As the country reels from Storm Chandra, government ministers have accused Met Éireann of withholding information about the extent of the storm. The death of Grace Lynch has placed the Government's inability to police scramblers at the heart of political debate. Cónal Thomas joins Tabitha Monahan to discuss the Government's next steps in the wake of the tragedy, and to look ahead to ministers' St Patrick's Day assignments, but what will await the Taoiseach in Washington? Today's podcast comes from our sister podcast Indo Politics, where you can find new episodes every Friday.

Jerry spoke to Taoiseach Micheál Martin who is visiting the RDI Hub and Fexco in Killorglin and the Astellas plant. Jerry quizzed him about the St Patrick’s Day visit to the White House, housing, and the controversy over hundreds of thousands of euro being set aside this year to pay for new secretarial support for former presidents. Jerry asks where the request for this support came from.

The Taoiseach has conceded that the trial of five members of An Garda Síochána, including two with strong connections to Clare, had a "severe negative impact" on the careers of those involved as well as on garda morale. Micheál Martin has pledged to speak to the Justice Minister about the case of a retired superintendent and four senior gardaí who have this week been found not guilty of perverting the court of justice. The charges were in relation to alleged attempts to terminate tickets for road traffic offences. Responding to Meelick Fianna Fáil TD Cathal Crowe in the Dáil, who's demanded an apology for the Garda Commissioner, the Taoiseach says a review "needs to happen" to examine the implications of the case.

The Government has confirmed that all cabinet and junior ministers will travel abroad this St Patrick's Day, with representatives visiting 50 countries, including eight ministers heading to the United States at a time of strained EU-US relations. The Taoiseach is also expected to meet President Donald Trump in the White House, a move that has sparked political debate and public concern, with a recent poll showing a clear majority of the public believes the Taoiseach should not go through with the visit. To discuss this further, Alan Morrissey was joined by Tulla-based Minister of State Timmy Dooley. Photo (c) The White House via X

The Taoiseach will give a State apology to those who suffered abuse in industrial and reformatory schools. The Government has agreed a package of additional supports for survivors of abuse at institutional schools, including health, education, housing and funeral cost supports. Fergus Finlay, Chair of the Christine Buckley Centre, and Patricia Carey, special advocate for survivors of institutional abuse both joined Jonathan Healy on the show to discuss.

The Taoiseach will make a formal apology in the Dail to survivors of industrial and reform schools, a move that follows decades of campaigning by those who suffered abuse in state run institutions The apology comes after a deal was reached between the Government and four hunger strikers who had been protesting outside Leinster House for over 50 days, having survived on coffee and water That hunger strike ended after a promise that a package of supports would be delivered but one of those campaigners says the promises are already falling apart Maurice Patton O'Connell is a survivor of Pembroke Arms industrial school and one of the hunger stokers he joined Ciara Doherty to discuss

Today the Minister for Public Expenditure and Infrastructure, along with the Minister for Finance, launched a new Government service to accelerate major Government capital investment projectsThis will aim to cut back major unfractured back by 12 months.

Fianna Fáil TD for Dublin West Jack Chambers, joined Ciara Doherty to discuss this and more.

Minister for Foreign Affairs Helen McEntee will bring to Cabinet the over 50 destinations that Ministers will visit this St Patrick's Day, headlined by the Taoiseach's visit to the White House. But in the aftermath of two killings by ICE agents and talk of annexing part of a sovereign European nation, should Micheál Martin attend?Pat asked Malcolm Byrne TD, Spokesperson on Climate, Environment and Energy, Fianna Fáil, Wicklow-Wexford and Richard Boyd-Barrett TD, People Before Profit, Dún Laoghaire.

The Taoiseach Micheál Martin has faced some criticism because of the number of overseas trips he has been on in the last twelve months. But are these trips abroad simply unavoidable when you are the leader of the country? And how beneficial are they? Our Chief Reporter Barry Whyte has been looking into it.

In the new year, leaders of nations in Asia, Europe and North America have traveled to China to discuss reinforcing bilateral ties and expanding pragmatic cooperation, and countries such as Finland have confirmed or planned visits to China by their leaders in the near future.Observers said one major reason behind the visits is that Beijing projects great predictability and consistency in its domestic and foreign policy, signaling tangible and continued mutual benefit in a world plagued by soaring geopolitical tensions, unilateralism and hegemony.The next guest will be Finnish Prime Minister Petteri Orpo, who is scheduled to make a four-day official visit to China starting on Sunday.The first head of state and the first foreign minister that Beijing received in 2026 both came from neighboring countries — Republic of Korea President Lee Jae-myung and Pakistani Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Mohammad Ishaq Dar.After President Xi Jinping's meeting with Lee on Jan 5, the two heads of state jointly witnessed the signing of 15 cooperation documents covering fields including scientific and technological innovation, the environment, transportation and trade.The official visit by Taoiseach of Ireland Micheal Martin, from Jan 4-8, was the first by an Irish prime minister in 14 years, giving fresh momentum to both bilateral and China-EU ties.Last week, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney made an official visit to China, and the two sides issued a joint statement of the China-Canada leaders' meeting, vowing to advance outcomes in areas including trade, energy, public security, culture and multilateralism.As reported by the Canadian newspaper Toronto Sun, Melanie Joly, Canada's industry minister, told reporters in Beijing that "the conversations here have been more predictable and stable than sometimes with other countries, including our neighbor".Recently, media outlets in Britain and Germany have reported that British Prime Minister Keir Starmer and German Chancellor Friedrich Merz may visit China later this year.The visits to China have helped nations, and will help more countries, improve their perception of China and rediscover the vast potential of the Chinese market, experts said.Vice-Foreign Minister Sun Weidong told a symposium on Monday that this year marks the first year of China's 15th Five-Year Plan (2026-30) period and that China "will further step up its high-level opening-up".Wang Huiyao, president of the Beijing-based Center for China and Globalization, said the visits to China took place as unilateral bullying practices "have sparked widespread concern in the international community", and "the momentum of unilateralism is on the rise in transatlantic relations".Taking Canada as an example, Wang said the rebound in China-Canada relations "is both a testament to the strategic wisdom of both sides and a natural choice that aligns with public opinion and market realities".Gao Fei, president of China Foreign Affairs University, said countries clearly know who are serving as stabilizers in this volatile world, and "China is the most predictable one among the major countries".As many countries speak positively of China's role in peace, stability and growth, some of their leaders visited in the new year to learn more about China's wisdom and solutions, he added.As part of efforts by working teams from China and these countries to realize the leaders' fresh consensus, Chinese and ROK officials on Monday kicked off the 13th round of follow-up negotiations on services and investment under the China-ROK Free Trade Agreement.Wang Junsheng, a researcher on Northeast Asia studies at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences' National Institute of International Strategy, noted that as the global economy remains sluggish and trade protectionism prevails, countries such as the ROK are grappling with challenges like tariff wars."In this context, maintaining stable economic and trade cooperation with China is crucial for the ROK's economic growth," Wang said."The global industrial supply chain is being disrupted by trade protectionism, so stable cooperation between the ROK and China in supply chain-related sectors is also of the utmost importance," he added.

With all the controversy surrounding Donald Trump's push to seize Greenland, there have been some who suggest that heading to the White House on St Patrick's Day might present a difficult decision for the Taoiseach.

Jack Horgan-Jones and Ellen Coyne join Hugh Linehan to look back on the week in politics:· The long-anticipated EU-Mercosur trade deal was provisionally approved on Friday, despite the opposition of Ireland, France and three other countries. The deal has been immensely unpopular in Irish political life for a long time, thanks largely to efforts by the farming lobby. But there is now a sense that some figures in the European Commission are disappointed the Government did not make the case for the economic upsides of the deal. · Taoiseach Micheál Martin was in China this week on a four-day visit. Trade was also high on the agenda there, with China eager to import more high-quality food from Ireland. Human rights were mentioned in passing, and there was condemnation by the Taoiseach of Nicolás Maduro's authoritarian regime in Venezuela, the irony seemingly lost on the Fianna Fáil leader given the country he was visiting.· And the Taoiseach's party colleague, Minister for Further and Higher Education James Lawless, wants to ditch the one-bed en suites as the Government looks to move towards a co-living model involving communal space for university accommodation. A bathroom of one's own is a luxury students can go without. Plus, the panel picks their favourite Irish Times pieces of the week:· The Saipan film reopens old wounds for Kevin Kilbane, Seán Moncrieff can't throw away all those old electronic cables, and boycotting Doonbeg is the least we can do to oppose Donald Trump's appetite for war.Would you like to receive daily insights into world events delivered to your inbox?

We are in a new era of global superpowers, and while Ireland has always sat comfortably with America, this week the Taoiseach has been enjoying the company of Chinese president Xi Jinping rather than Donald Trump. It's an interesting place for Micheál Martin to be, caught in the middle of the battle for the new world order. But why did China roll out the red carpet for Ireland? And from our perspective, is it all about money? Host: Kevin Doyle Guests: Alexander Dukalskis and Cónal ThomasSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
