Professor Deirdre Ahern:

Students are inherently curious and you will find they will enjoy just playing with what is there. That is wonderful, whether it is making video games or otherwise. I know Senator Ruane has left now, or I would have said to her how useful it can be for people with disabilities or dyslexia for even just proofing or checking things. To emphasise again, it is a tool, and like Ms Riordan said, the soft skills are so important. We need to emphasise that it is a tool and where it serves us and is human-centric - that is what we need to remember - it can be a wonderful thing.
