Ses responsabilités en matière d'IA
No AI remit of its own; it is Ireland's citizen-initiated route into the Oireachtas. An AI-related petition — on enforcement of the EU AI Act in Ireland, on data centres, on algorithmic decision-making by a public body — is considered here and can be referred onward to the Joint Committee on Artificial Intelligence.
Travaux en cours
Rolling petitions caseload plus oversight of the Ombudsman offices.
Voie d'accès publique
'You can also petition the Houses of the Oireachtas on matters on which it has the power to act.

No signature threshold — an individual may petition.
Règles de format
