Facebook is building another European data center, this time in Ireland. The company's first data center was built in Sweden back in 2013.

Today we are pleased to announce that Clonee, County Meath, will be the site for our newest data center. The Clonee data center will be our first in Ireland and follows Luleå, in Sweden, as our second in Europe. The facility will become part of the infrastructure that enables billions of people to connect with the people and things they care about on Facebook, Messenger, Instagram and more.

I called someone's tech support the other day and was routed to a call center in Ireland, I was pleasantly surprised. It was easier to understand the Irish chick then the average Indian support people.
