Joint Oireachtas Committee on Artificial Intelligence
Artificial Intelligence, Truth and Democracy: Discussion
2:00 am
Mr. Art O'Leary:
The law is clear in relation to this. There was no doubt in our mind. The Minister for housing does have powers. It is called a special difficulty order, where the Minister can intervene as unforeseen events arise. I did have a conversation with the Minister and he was not inclined to make a special difficulty order in this instance, so the law was clear, the law stood, and we went on and made the explainer videos.
