Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (18 Sep 2025)

James Geoghegan: We discussed this in private session. In a newspaper report, the Peter McVerry Trust indicated that it would now attend the Committee of Public Accounts whereas previously, in correspondence when we asked the trust to come before us, it indicated that it really had nothing to offer. I know our predecessor Committee of Public Accounts made several attempts to get the trust to come before the...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Planning Issues (18 Sep 2025)

James Geoghegan: I thank the Minister for being in attendance. He will be aware the greater Dublin drainage project was granted planning permission in July and a judicial review was subsequently initiated. This is an absolutely essential project for the existing half a million homes in this country and tens of thousands more homes that will not be built unless this project is continued. I do not need to...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Planning Issues (18 Sep 2025)

James Geoghegan: I thank the Minister for the reply. It seems to me that we have put the laws in place in the planning Act in relation to trying to reduce the number of judicial reviews. We have not yet commenced the relevant provision as it relates to fixed costs. The Minister has a statutory role in relation to that, although I acknowledge it is the Minister for housing who has to discuss it with him. I...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Artificial Intelligence: Artificial Intelligence and Children and Young People: Discussion (23 Sep 2025)

James Geoghegan: I thank the Chair and all the witnesses, in particular the young witnesses, for appearing. The future is bright based on the presentations the three of them have given and no doubt all three of them could be sitting on this side of the committee room at some point in the future.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Artificial Intelligence: Artificial Intelligence and Children and Young People: Discussion (23 Sep 2025)

James Geoghegan: I am not saying this to discount the issues raised, particularly those raised by Ms Blackwell, which need to be viewed through a criminal justice prism in many respects and it frustrates me that we are not able to have a discussion about innovation in AI and safeguarding children as if they are sort of binary choices. In the witnesses' peer groups, what is the overwhelming emotion or feeling...

James Geoghegan: Grace said something that shocked but did not surprise me during the questioning about recommender algorithms: that in her feed, the video of Charlie Kirk being murdered popped up on her screen.

Yet, if we...
