Keira Keogh: I join colleagues in extending sympathies to those who lost their lives in India and to Deputy Conway-Walsh on the loss of her mother. Will the Tánaiste tell me what steps the Government is taking in relation to the effects social media is having on our under-16s? What meetings have happened with social media companies? This is an issue I campaigned vigorously on during the local...

Committee on Disability Matters: Progressing the Delivery of Disability Policy and Services: Discussion (11 Jun 2025)

Keira Keogh: I want to get Mr. Darmody’s thoughts on this. Let us say I have a child who has perceived dyslexia, a sensory processing disorder or ADHD and, at the moment, my child can access services based on that potential diagnosis. There are also two-year-olds who might need to access home tuition or an autism class and they will need the diagnosis to access that service. Would Mr. Darmody be...

For example, with the primary medical certificate, if someone needs an augmented car, he or she has...

Committee on Disability Matters: Progressing the Delivery of Disability Policy and Services: Discussion (11 Jun 2025)

Keira Keogh: I will come back to Mr. Walsh because we were cut off mid-sentence the last time we were talking. I agree with him that we still leave disability to the medical model and the lens of health, support and care. We need a shift and I like the lens of accessibility: access to education, work and the community. There seems to be a whole-of-government focus now on disability. When I talk to TDs...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Artificial Intelligence: Introduction to Artificial Intelligence: Research Ireland (10 Jun 2025)

Keira Keogh: I will stay with Dr. Leavy. I am looking at her background of philosophy and social science and wondering whether she has asked the big questions to AI. We might leave that for another day. What is her take in relation to her social science background?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Artificial Intelligence: Introduction to Artificial Intelligence: Research Ireland (10 Jun 2025)

Keira Keogh: Those AI companions would have benefits for people with dementia or Alzheimer's or in the neurodiverse space where there can be lots of learning. Sticking with Dr. Leavy, I know she has a big interest in social media governance.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Artificial Intelligence: Introduction to Artificial Intelligence: Research Ireland (10 Jun 2025)

Keira Keogh: I thank the witnesses very much for their contributions. On the digital divide, from an economic viewpoint, what will cause the biggest divide?

Will it be a combination of all of those factors?...
