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

Paul Murphy: It is a good place to start. I thank the witnesses for all the presentations. I was struck by what Mr. Joyce said about the algorithms acting as vectors of harmful content, reinforcing and amplifying content that is harmful and so on. He made a call to pay more attention to recommender systems. We spoke about this in the earlier session. Will the Irish Traveller Movement support the...

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

Paul Murphy: I thank Mr. Joyce. I will turn to BeLonG To, who raised many of the same points about people being force-fed anti-LGBTQ, racist, far-right or pro-eating disorder content because it works for the tech giants. Then you have the added issue with AI and the algorithms effectively outing people without AI having the intent to do it in the sense that AI does not have intent. Similarly, is that...

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

Paul Murphy: It came up a little bit earlier. It is possible to have social media without these algorithms. It is possible for people to choose themselves what they want.

Paul Murphy: I wish to raise the issue of funding for rare diseases. Rare diseases are not all that rare, given that 300,000 people are affected by one rare disease or another in Ireland, involving over 8,000 different diseases.

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Military Neutrality (18 Sep 2025)

Paul Murphy: We are getting somewhere here. The Tánaiste accepted that the point of getting rid of the triple lock is to be able to send troops outside of the framework of the UN Charter - not just outside the principles but outside the articles of the UN Charter, which govern international law in respect of where troops can be sent abroad. That is the reason to get rid of the triple lock. The...

Paul Murphy: In answer to Deputy Clendennen's question, there is a cynical campaign of misinformation. It is coming from the Government. It is suggesting that we are going to get rid of the triple lock but there is no need to worry because we are going to stay within the framework of the UN Charter. That is not honest, unless the Tánaiste does not understand the UN Charter. There are two...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Military Neutrality (18 Sep 2025)

Paul Murphy: That is not accidental because he is talking about the vague, broad principles in Article 2 of the UN Charter in contrast to giving a commitment to stay within the articles of the UN Charter, which are exactly the same as the triple lock.
