There is no councillor by that name.

Taken from other internet forums that also don't have proper links... so no.

wouldn't be from one of the UDCs/town councils would it?

Either way shouldn't be in the city forum.

Funnily, the comment he "made" isn't as nuts as it sounds.

Local area councillor Seamus Tiernan made the amazing outburst after he was told he was a "feckin eejit" for thinking that cloud computing was only suitable in areas with lots of rain.
He had told the Infrastructure Committee meeting this week that his native Connemara would be ideal for cloud computing because it has heavy cloud cover for nine months of the year."

Ireland is well suited to hosting large data centers as the temperature variations aren't as great meaning cost of heating/cooling is lower here.
