1/2 In light of the violations by Grok the X AI chatbot let's look at the gap in Irish law.
There's an apparent and dangerous gap in the law. Under Coco's law that got enacted in 2020 the sharing of deepfake and harmful content is illegal so is the using of such material for harrassment. However

Joined cross-party opposition at Leinster House this morning, calling for the Student Accommodation Strategy to be published. Students and families have waited long enough. It’s time to publish it now.

Traffic in Dublin has gotten crazy the past few weeks. But the new government is taking money away from public transport projects that could deal with it.
We could have had a new DART station and improved lines at Heuston and Kylemore Road in Ballyfermot. But no. Roads instead.

We won't always make popular decisions but at the very least we could make fair decisions.
Fine Gael & Fianna Fáil would prefer to angrily shut down debate, rather than hear criticism of their rent hikes on the least well off while giving the maximum tax cut to homeowners.

This week I voted against Fine Gael’s proposal to increase: rents, car parking charges, and bring centre fees, in Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown.
Fine Gael councillors seemed confused about our party proposing to actually protect the most vulnerable and less well-off in our community.

Last night Fine Gael and Fianna Fáil balanced a €9m hole in our council’s budget, caused by giving a 15pc tax cut in Local Property Tax, by hiking council tenants rents and increasing car parking charges and green waste charges.

But that requires leadership. We see none from this Government.

For that kind of money you could:
