There will be one and that will come under the Department of enterprise, but as I said, I do not think it is envisaged that it will only focus on enterprise and trade. Arguably, it would be well suited to the Department of the Taoiseach or a Department that is more broadly placed than the Department of enterprise. However, that is where it is at the moment. This Department is developing the sandbox. However, that is not to say it will focus entirely on enterprise and trade. The Department has already engaged with the Department of Education and Youth about how to roll out AI literacy to teachers and students. It has also had engagement with other Departments. That will be the way it is done in the future. One main office within the Department of enterprise will draw from the expertise of the competent authorities.
