Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills: The Future of Artificial Intelligence in Post-Primary Education: Discussion (9 Jul 2024)

Pauline O'Reilly: I would say that must have been a challenge for the students when they were doing the project.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills: The Future of Artificial Intelligence in Post-Primary Education: Discussion (9 Jul 2024)

Pauline O'Reilly: It must be really hard for teachers then, if they are doing the same thing. The students were doing one project once. I have done a BT Young Scientist project and it is a huge challenge, but if a teacher is having to change how they are teaching day-in, day-out, that is much harder than maybe the education system looking 20 years down the line and making the changes now. I thank Ms White...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills: The Future of Artificial Intelligence in Post-Primary Education: Discussion (9 Jul 2024)

Pauline O'Reilly: Yes. It needs to propel them to get to that level that AI has and then go beyond that, in some ways.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills: The Future of Artificial Intelligence in Post-Primary Education: Discussion (9 Jul 2024)

Pauline O'Reilly: Okay. I thank Mr. Meade and Mr. O'Sullivan very much. There are a lot of questions there about the value of assessments and of assessing human beings, but as Mr. O'Sullivan says, part of it is entry to college, which is a really challenging thing to get right. I thank all the students so much. I have really enjoyed the conversation and thank them so much for the work they are doing. I...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills: The Future of Artificial Intelligence in Post-Primary Education: Discussion (9 Jul 2024)

Pauline O'Reilly: No. I did write the ultimate one. It was just to get me started. I thank the Chair.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills: The Future of Artificial Intelligence in Post-Primary Education: Discussion (9 Jul 2024)

Pauline O'Reilly: I am just wondering, on another tangent, what the witnesses think doing this project has given them. How will they take the information they learned forward? Do they think they know more than other people about the subject? They obviously do because they have done a lot of work. Is it going to perhaps inform what work they might do in the future? I am interested to hear about that because...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills: The Future of Artificial Intelligence in Post-Primary Education: Discussion (9 Jul 2024)

Pauline O'Reilly: That is brilliant. It is great to hear that. How about the other entrants? The world is their oyster. While this has broadened their horizons, they may do something else entirely.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills: The Future of Artificial Intelligence in Post-Primary Education: Discussion (9 Jul 2024)

Pauline O'Reilly: Perhaps as a teacher it could assist with Ms White's own lesson planning.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills: The Future of Artificial Intelligence in Post-Primary Education: Discussion (9 Jul 2024)

Pauline O'Reilly: We will not let them out the door.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills: The Future of Artificial Intelligence in Post-Primary Education: Discussion (9 Jul 2024)

Pauline O'Reilly: You can write all your manifestos through AI. How about Ms Jennings?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills: The Future of Artificial Intelligence in Post-Primary Education: Discussion (9 Jul 2024)

Pauline O'Reilly: It is interesting that all the witnesses have got something different from it. Sometimes doing any of these projects is all about learning how to research something and taking that learning on to whatever they decide to go into.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills: The Future of Artificial Intelligence in Post-Primary Education: Discussion (9 Jul 2024)

Pauline O'Reilly: If they want to go into technology.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Consultation on the Draft National Planning Framework: Discussion (11 Jul 2024)

Pauline O'Reilly: I thank the officials for their contributions so far. I am looking at page 9 where the current problems and issues are outlined, which this document aims to address. It states; "Cities like Cork, Limerick, Galway and Waterford [are] growing but not at the pace or scale required to function as realistic alternatives to Dublin." What I am looking at is a document that is not in any way...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Consultation on the Draft National Planning Framework: Discussion (11 Jul 2024)

Pauline O'Reilly: I would like Mr. Hogan to go over it again but in response to my question, which is about the north west. The Department's document says that only 4% of the overall number is to go into Galway but it fails to answer why that is the case. If it is because there has not been investment to date, what does Mr. Hogan think is going to define whether there will be investment in the next 15 years...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Consultation on the Draft National Planning Framework: Discussion (11 Jul 2024)

Pauline O'Reilly: The Department is saying two core things here. It is saying that it is a problem that we are doing all of our development in Dublin and yet, in this document, it is still putting three out of every five people who are going into cities into Dublin. That is what it is doing. The second thing that has not been addressed is the issue of compact growth. Again, the Department is putting half...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Consultation on the Draft National Planning Framework: Discussion (11 Jul 2024)

Pauline O'Reilly: You kind of are because this is the strategy as to where they go.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Consultation on the Draft National Planning Framework: Discussion (11 Jul 2024)

Pauline O'Reilly: Living in Galway, as I do, the people live on one side of the city and the businesses are all on the other. As a country, we have put them there because we designed it in that way. There is now a problem with it. It is incredibly difficult to reverse out of that but I still believe that, with investment, we can. These are the kinds of decisions that are made through these strategy...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Consultation on the Draft National Planning Framework: Discussion (11 Jul 2024)

Pauline O'Reilly: I absolutely agree with Mr. Hogan on all of that. That is why I am saying how critical all of this is. When the Department shares a vision as to what it wants Galway to look like and the kind of increase of population it is planning for, it defines the kind of investment that is made, the kinds of decisions that are made by councillors and the kinds of decisions that are made as to the...
