Exactly. There is a really interesting point within this.

I have great admiration for the NGOs working in the ageing space in Ireland on older people's rights. They do an incredible job. There is great co-operation across the sector as well. This is addressed to Mr. Moynihan and to anybody else who has comments on this. Is the Government doing enough to include civil society in the conversation around AI regulation? Since I got to know the area a bit, I became genuinely privileged to understand the issues around ageing because it shifted my whole worldview about the privilege of getting older. Obviously, the alternative is not so good. I still hear patronising comments and infantilisation in so much conversation around older people's rights. There is terrible stereotyping around older people as this homogeneous group of frail people. Can the witnesses talk to me about how that intersects with technology? I see it acutely. I see this assumption. I know there are differences in adaptation to technologies in older age groups. I know there is anxiety that is unique to older people. However, I do not like the framing of it. I wonder has anybody thoughts on either of those points.
