Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (9 Jul 2024)

Simon Harris: I do not need a chorus. There are many other examples of affordable housing schemes throughout the country. This is not just a meeting of Dublin City Council. In Waterford, for example, we are working to deliver affordable homes with a private developer for prices as low as €225,000. Of course it is more expensive to build an affordable home or a home in parts of Dublin than in...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (9 Jul 2024)

Mary Lou McDonald: Faoi cheannasaíocht Fhine Gael agus Fianna Fáil, tá deireadh tagtha le tithíocht inacmhainne. Léiríonn an phraiseach ar Bhóthar Oscair Mhic Thréinir nach bhfuil scéim tithíochta inacmhainne an Rialtais ag obair. Is í an eagla anois nach mbeidh na cíosanna san fhorbraíocht ar phraghas réasúnta do ghnáthdhaoine...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills: The Future of Artificial Intelligence in Post-Primary Education: Discussion (9 Jul 2024)

Jim O'Callaghan: I welcome all our guests and commend them on the excellent work they have done. Obviously, huge opportunities and risks are associated with the use of AI in post-primary education. I would have thought the opportunities relate, as Ms Kelleher mentioned, to assisting people to learn and assisting teachers to teach people and prompt them in a certain way. The risks, however, seem to be...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills: The Future of Artificial Intelligence in Post-Primary Education: Discussion (9 Jul 2024)

Jim O'Callaghan: On the risks, the concern is that people will not do work and just ask ChatGPT to come up with an essay. Does Ms White believe that, as a result of that, we will find ourselves going back to more closed-book exams, at which people must write down what they know? Would that be negative?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills: The Future of Artificial Intelligence in Post-Primary Education: Discussion (9 Jul 2024)

Jim O'Callaghan: Yes. The general trend of trying to move away from closed-book examinations to more continuous assessment, which this committee has considered, is risky if AI is very hard to detect. Does Mr. Meade agree?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills: The Future of Artificial Intelligence in Post-Primary Education: Discussion (9 Jul 2024)

Jim O'Callaghan: There is a risk associated with moving away from end-of-year exams in which people have to express their knowledge on a piece of paper. Does Mr. Meade believe a consequence of AI is that we will see more closed-book exams in the future?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills: The Future of Artificial Intelligence in Post-Primary Education: Discussion (9 Jul 2024)

Jim O'Callaghan: I do not know whether Mr. O'Sullivan is aware of a report produced by the University of Reading on research based on 33 exam answers submitted by AI. The examiners did not detect any of them. In fact, 32 out of the 33 were much better than the answers of the humans doing the exams. I would have believed it will always be the case that the technology for AI will be one step ahead of...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills: The Future of Artificial Intelligence in Post-Primary Education: Discussion (9 Jul 2024)

Jim O'Callaghan: With regard to individual writing style, we are dependent upon the examiner knowing a person's writing style in the first place, are we not?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills: The Future of Artificial Intelligence in Post-Primary Education: Discussion (9 Jul 2024)

Jim O'Callaghan: Let us look at third level, which is probably a better example, where a lecturer is not really aware of the writing style of the student. It will be very hard in that situation for the lecturer to be able say, for example, “That does not sound like Malcolm Byrne’s essay”.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills: The Future of Artificial Intelligence in Post-Primary Education: Discussion (9 Jul 2024)

Jim O'Callaghan: Finally, what does Mr. O’Sullivan think of the long-term consequences for creativity of humans if we develop this over-reliance on AI?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills: The Future of Artificial Intelligence in Post-Primary Education: Discussion (9 Jul 2024)

Jim O'Callaghan: Very good answer.

Report of the Joint Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Motion (4 Jul 2024)

Jackie Cahill: I sincerely thank the Minister for taking on board the request from the Oireachtas joint committee, which I am privileged to chair. I really appreciate him doing so. Our report is entitled Environmental Impact of Local Industrial Emissions in Castlecomer, Co. Kilkenny, and I welcome the fact that we will have a review of what happened there. I will not go back over what I said earlier in...

Malcolm Noonan: I welcome Dan Brennan, Francie Gorman, Denis Drennan and representatives of the farm organisations to the House. I am sure Dan's family are watching at home as well. This is an important day for Dan and his family. I know Dan. He is a responsible and good farmer. I visited his farm with former Deputies Mary White and John Gormley during the depths of that crisis and saw at first hand...
