I would like to think we will not be looking at the kinds of figures the Deputy referenced in Ireland. I will be a realist and say there will obviously be some displacement. I would be a fool not to say that. To address the Deputy's opening remarks, we cannot afford not to embrace AI and embrace it in a way that has a risk-based approach that protects our citizens. I am equally very conscious there will be jobs that can be done by AI. We have to look to and work with organisations, such as Skillnet Ireland, to see where the jobs that will be most impacted are and how we can reskill and upskill those who will be impacted.
