Ms Áine Lynch:

They were broad questions. We do not have links with the AI office at the moment. The trouble is that, with the way the country works, we are very pigeonholed. The National Parents Council represents parents' voice in education. Breaking down those barriers is important. The information that comes from parents about what concerns them and what they need to support their children is important for the AI office. Even the survey we have discussed would be important information for the office.

We did not ask about the recommenders in our survey because we were specifically looking at education but we hear that parents are very concerned about them and their impact. It links directly to mental health. Fionn made a good connection with it. Some children will just dismiss it and some go down the rabbit hole. That needs to be looked at. That they should be off by default is an important piece, which Ms Blackwell also raised.
