Of course, I would. It is important that we provide support. Enterprise Ireland is the agency that will support, fund and develop those companies. It is important that we respond to the Draghi report in a meaningful way, that is, that we do not stifle innovation. The Department, along with the ESRI and National Competitiveness and Productivity Council, is undertaking research on the impact of AI on key sectors within the economy and will report those results soon. Working with Skillnet Ireland, which is doing a lot of work on this, and with our academia we will try to make every effort to mitigate against the displacement of jobs.
