- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2024: Tusla - the Child and Family Agency (2 Oct 2025)
James Geoghegan: I see that. It is a bit concerning, and I hear the point that there is a lot of nuance here because some of them could be adults. For most of them, the assumption is that they are going off to the UK. Have there been bad outcomes in terms of children who have gone missing from Tusla's system, namely the 538 children in special separation or whatever it is called? Is there a European-wide...
- An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (14 Oct 2025)
James Geoghegan: I thank the Ceann Comhairle. The Taoiseach will be familiar with the Baggot Street hospital. It is an iconic building in the middle of Baggot Street that, scandalously, has been left vacant for a number of years by the HSE. The HSE told us and local residents that it had been placed on the OPW disposal register, which, as it was explained to me, means every Government Department and State...

James Geoghegan: The Taoiseach might just follow up with the Minister for housing to clarify where we are at.
- An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (14 Oct 2025)
James Geoghegan: It was the Department of housing that said it had never been offered it. It is just to get clarity on that point.
- Ceisteanna - Questions: Cabinet Committees (14 Oct 2025)
James Geoghegan: 22. To ask the Taoiseach when the Cabinet committee on EU and international affairs will next meet. [51782/25]
- Confidence in the Tánaiste and Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade: Motion (15 Oct 2025)
James Geoghegan: Like everyone who has spoken today, I acknowledge Harvey and his parents, Gillian and Stephen. I say this as a human being, a parent of three children and a Member of Dáil Éireann. I also acknowledge Deputy O'Flynn's comments and the spirit in which he made them, which was in sharp contrast to the comments of Deputies McDonald and Paul Murphy, who should reflect on what they...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Artificial Intelligence: Artificial Intelligence in the Public Sector: Discussion (14 Oct 2025)
James Geoghegan: I thank the witnesses. This has been an interesting discussion. Understandably, a lot of the questions have focused on risk. Something that perhaps goes missing in the narrative in Ireland is that within Europe we are operating within an AI regulatory framework. That framework is not the same as those in China or the United States. We have a real opportunity in Europe when it comes to...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Artificial Intelligence: Artificial Intelligence in the Public Sector: Discussion (14 Oct 2025)
James Geoghegan: Is Ms Cassidy driving the implementation of AI in Departments forward? Is she keeping tabs on each Department? Are Departments reporting up to her on how they are implementing the guidelines? Does she know what is going on in every Department in terms of use of the guidelines?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Artificial Intelligence: Artificial Intelligence in the Public Sector: Discussion (14 Oct 2025)
James Geoghegan: Ms Cassidy is not is not picking up the phone to her counterparts in Departments to discuss the guidelines and find out what kind of direction they are giving to principal officers and others down the line. She does not know, for example, if the Department of agriculture is doing one thing and the Department of justice is doing another. Is her division doing any of that kind of work?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Artificial Intelligence: Artificial Intelligence in the Public Sector: Discussion (14 Oct 2025)
James Geoghegan: How does Ms Cassidy know that the guidelines that the Department published are being used if she is waiting for other Departments to phone her, as opposed to the other way around?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Artificial Intelligence: Artificial Intelligence in the Public Sector: Discussion (14 Oct 2025)
James Geoghegan: No disrespect, but that is hardly a metric which shows that people have read the guidelines. One would hope that it is the bare minimum.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Artificial Intelligence: Artificial Intelligence in the Public Sector: Discussion (14 Oct 2025)
James Geoghegan: I will put the question another way. Which Department right now does Ms Cassidy think is leading in the implementation or use of the guidelines?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Artificial Intelligence: Artificial Intelligence in the Public Sector: Discussion (14 Oct 2025)
James Geoghegan: If Ms Cassidy's division is not responsible for all Departments adapting to AI, who is responsible for that?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Artificial Intelligence: Artificial Intelligence in the Public Sector: Discussion (14 Oct 2025)
James Geoghegan: Who are they accountable to in the context of the particular question of adapting to AI? Are they accountable to any one on that particular question?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Artificial Intelligence: Artificial Intelligence in the Public Sector: Discussion (14 Oct 2025)
James Geoghegan: Does Ms Cassidy think that is problematic in terms of the roll-out of AI? Has the Department looked at the public sectors in other European countries and benchmarked that against Ireland? Is it problematic that the Department does not have a function to wield a stick and ask what people are piloting here? Revenue is doing some things and the Department of agriculture is doing other things....
