VERIFIED 2026-09-22 from the Oireachtas AI committee's own scheduling entry, which names her as 'Minister Niamh Smyth, Minister of State at the Department of Enterprise, Tourism and Employment'. I did NOT independently verify the precise title of her delegated AI responsibility on gov.ie, so the exact wording of her AI-specific brief is UNVERIFIED.
