We are out of time, so with the Taoiseach’s co-operation, I will take the final three Deputies together.

Professor Gregory O’Hare from Trinity College recently told the Joint Committee on Enterprise, Trade and Employment that ChatGPT was the fastest-growing technology in history; it was disruptive, it would replace a quarter of our work-related tasks and its speed was fast exceeding the rate at which law could be framed, including the EU's artificial intelligence, AI, Act. Other countries have forums, task forces and strategies. Has the Government plans to establish anything like that in Ireland, perhaps even an Oireachtas committee?

I wish to raise the issue of home tutors. I acted as a home tutor many years ago to a child with a cancer diagnosis. I believe there are approximately 1,400 home tutors working in the system nationally, many of them part-time, supplementing their hours and affiliated with schools. There are some who are working full-time. They are qualified teachers who are registered with the Teaching Council, but many of them have received letters from Revenue in recent weeks saying that they need to deregister as self-employed. This poses them difficult questions. Who will become their employer? Will they get the same conditions, pension entitlements and so on as mainstream teachers? There are turbulent waters ahead for them. They have the same experience and qualifications as other teachers and each tutor’s payslip has on it a school roll number and the previous school to which he or she was affiliated. Who becomes their employer if they are not self-employed?

The Government's promise in the programme for Government of an end-of-life hospice unit in Drogheda was welcomed, as were the allocation of €1 million and the identification of a site at Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital. The people of Drogheda have been waiting for developments since then and I have been waiting ten weeks for a reply from the Minister for Health setting out the progress to date. Will the Taoiseach ask the Minister to send me that reply urgently, given that we need significant progress on the site?

I will ask the Minister of State, Deputy Smyth, to reply to Deputy Stanton’s question on AI.

Regarding Deputy O’Sullivan’s question on home tutors, I was not aware of that issue. I will certainly speak to the Minister, Deputy McGrath, about it. It sounds like a Revenue decision. I will make inquiries and get back to the Deputy as soon as I can.

To Deputy O’Dowd’s question, the discussions on the end-of-life hospice unit in Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital go back to my time as Minister for Health, so I am frustrated that it is not up and running already, quite frankly. I will ensure the Deputy gets a reply from the Minister, Deputy Donnelly, in the next couple of days.

Deputy Stanton asked about AI and advice on same. The National Cyber Security Centre has circulated advice to Departments and other public sector bodies on the use of AI. That advice is classified and has not been published but, in general, it advises not uploading confidential documents and not using the output of generative AI directly, for example, to reply to letters from the public or generate strategies or documents. There is a significant upside to generative AI – it is not just a risk – and both sides are being watched. The Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment is responsible for ensuring we profit from AI. The cybersecurity division under me is responsible for ensuring we mitigate its risks.

No need to worry, so.
