Marc Ó Cathasaigh: I wish to advise the House of the following matters in respect of which notice has been given under Standing Order 37 and the name of the Member in each case: Deputy Ruairí Ó Murchú - To discuss the recent cancellations of the 100X bus service in Dundalk. Deputy David Stanton - To discuss upgrading the N25 national road in east Cork. Deputy Donnchadh Ó Laoghaire - To...

- Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Public Transport (29 May 2024)
Ruairi Ó Murchú: I have previously raised the issue of the 100X route with the Minister. This is the Expressway service from Dundalk to Dublin and obviously back again. For many people it is the means by which to get to and from Dublin Airport. Some issues we bring up here have an impact on and relate to many people. In the period since I brought this up previously, I have been inundated. I acknowledge...
- Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Public Transport (29 May 2024)
Eamon Ryan: I thank Deputy Ó Murchú for raising this important topic. From the outset, I must clarify that while, as Minister for Transport, I have responsibility for policy and overall funding for public transport, neither I nor my officials are involved in the day-to-day operation of public transport services. The statutory responsibility for securing the provision of public transport...
- Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Public Transport (29 May 2024)
Ruairi Ó Murchú: When I raised the issue before, my supplementary question related to the recruitment of mechanics for bus services. That is something that definitely needs to be addressed. I understand that Expressway is a commercial operation but if we are talking about trying to get people out of cars and making sure we are not putting undue pressure on car park services in the airport, we need to make...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Impact of Artificial Intelligence on Businesses: Discussion (Resumed) (29 May 2024)
Louise O'Reilly: I have a couple of questions for everybody and my first question is for Mr. Meade. Concern has been expressed in the US about AI Overviews. Much of what I have read shows that the latter gives results that can be seen as misleading, such as adding glue to a pizza to keep the cheese on it. More seriously, it returns results which state that serial killers and nuclear war have benefits....

Louise O'Reilly: My question is whether Google intends to launch it here. I am aware it has not been launched here.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Impact of Artificial Intelligence on Businesses: Discussion (Resumed) (29 May 2024)
Louise O'Reilly: Okay.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Impact of Artificial Intelligence on Businesses: Discussion (Resumed) (29 May 2024)
Louise O'Reilly: I am sure they would have plenty to say about it. Certainly, what I have read in the media would not fill me with confidence. I appreciate the point on it being a discrete and small number of results but some of them, which I will not ventilate here because they do not deserve an airing, are incredibly disruptive and would be potentially disruptive in the political realm as well as in other...

Louise O'Reilly: When will it be considered safe to launch?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Impact of Artificial Intelligence on Businesses: Discussion (Resumed) (29 May 2024)
Louise O'Reilly: I presume all of what we read about in the media will be dealt with in advance of a European launch.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Impact of Artificial Intelligence on Businesses: Discussion (Resumed) (29 May 2024)
Louise O'Reilly: Of course Google does. Mr. Meade would never be hanged for that answer. Everyone who comes in here would say they want to launch as safe a product as possible. This does not necessarily mean that the product is safe. I take the point, however. I have some general questions and I am conscious of the time limits. I will ask our guests about the mindsets in respect of AI, which is a subject...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Impact of Artificial Intelligence on Businesses: Discussion (Resumed) (29 May 2024)
Louise O'Reilly: There is, and my question is how we do it. Industry will have to do the heavy lifting but it will need partners in education and politics, etc.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Impact of Artificial Intelligence on Businesses: Discussion (Resumed) (29 May 2024)
Louise O'Reilly: My first question is about the way in which the move from large language models to small language models can make genitive AI more accessible for SMEs and smaller organisations with more limited resources, including charities. At a high level, large language models have created opportunities around productivity and creativity. However, it requires access to big computing to avail of them....
