============================================================

Naoise Ó Cearúil (FF), Kildare North

I welcome the progress made to date in relation to the national digital and AI strategy, with the 20 objectives and the 90 deliverables. Things such as the AI skilling platform, AI Ready, are already up and running. We have seen progress made with the regulatory sandbox and the AI office, which is due to open in August. There are a lot of competing demands here and a lot of priorities, including some that are crucial and time sensitive. Are there specific action items, with times aligned to them, in relation to the plan over the next 12 months? I appreciate it runs until 2030, but some elements will need to be completed sooner rather than later.
