- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Artificial Intelligence: Introduction to Artificial Intelligence: Discussion (Resumed) (8 Jul 2025)
James Geoghegan: Finally, one of the questions I put to the chair of the AI council when she was before us was this suggestion, which Senator Dee Ryan took up there, that during the EU Presidency, Ireland would host an EU AI summit similar to what President Macron did. It would be slightly different in the sense that it would give Ireland an opportunity to showcase that we have our regulatory house in order,...

One of the big decisions I made when I was elected as a city councillor in 2019 was that, where possible, I would attend, at the very least, Dublin Pride every single year. To my eternal shame, I never attended Pride before I became a councillor. As a public representative, I felt it important to...
