Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Operation and Resourcing of Coimisiún na Meán: Digital Services Commissioner (28 Feb 2024)

Richard Bruton: What I am getting at is that you feel there are certain principles that ought to be embedded in a job interview. Maybe this has to go into employment law or insurance law and is not Coimisiún na Meán's baby. However, it does seem to me that machine learning will challenge existing laws and it will not be good enough for Coimisiún na Meán to say there is a data law and...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Role of Media and Communications in Actioning Climate Change: Discussion (29 Nov 2022)

Richard Bruton: ...change. Government seeks change, I do not think journalists see it as their job to support the Government in that. What we need from journalism is assurance that false facts will be challenged and not that it will get into the job of the Government in trying to nudge people towards particular behaviour.

However it is incorrect to assume that a lack of investment in the region is now a significant factor. Over recent years there has been a wide range of...

Written Answers — Job Creation: Job Creation (18 Jul 2012)

As a result of the Talk Talk closure in Waterford in September last, I launched the South East Employment Action Plan, which contains targeted actions to address the specific unemployment problems affecting the South East region. This Plan was published in late 2011. I met with all the agencies, local authorities,...
