What happened
James Geoghegan, a Fine Gael Deputy, published the discussion paper ‘Shaping Ireland’s AI Transition’ during Fine Gael’s Ard Fheis at University College Cork. The paper proposes an AI skills guarantee for every worker, a national AI and digital skills qualification for secondary school students, and a personal training account to prepare the economy for AI changes.

Why it matters
Fine Gael politicians warned that Ireland risks creating a two-tier economy unless workers and students are equipped with the necessary skills to keep pace with artificial intelligence. The proposals aim to help form considerations for future Government policy regarding AI and workforce preparation.
