Ireland has the same problem. Attracting large amount of data centres which don't really create all that many jobs. It also then shifts the costs because the electricity demand is so huge and it strains infrastructure.

Taxpayer incentives to build datacenters are a good example of poor decision making by governments, and poor allocation of tax money. Seems like an argument to drop corporation taxes rather than increase them.
