Gabhaim buíochas leo as ucht teacht os comhair an choiste. I thank everyone for coming before the committee. I congratulate them for all their work. Getting to present it today is a big day and I am delighted to see everyone was able to bring family members and so on. Anyone who has ever done a project or run for an election knows it takes a family effort, even if it is just putting up with our stress. It is really good to see everyone here today.

This is really interesting. It will probably be a problem more for the witnesses generation than ours. It is their generation which will have to come up with ways to deal with AI. Some of it has been fascinating. I would ask the two women in front of me about getting teachers to look at what was and was not AI generated to see which texts were which. They mentioned some was in Irish, some in English and some was in other languages. I think it was French. Was there a difference in how Irish was perceived? Was it easier or less easy to see it in Irish rather than other languages?
