Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 16 June 2026
395. Deputy Peadar Tóibín asked the Minister for Enterprise, Tourism and Employment if he has an any way to identify which Parliamentary Questions are AI generated; and the amount it costs, on average, to answer a Parliamentary Question. [45368/26]
Amharc ar fhreagraMy Department does not have a process or mechanism to identify Parliamentary Questions which may have been generated using AI.
It is not possible to provide a reliable estimate of the average cost of answering a Parliamentary Question. The time and resources required vary significantly depending on the complexity of the question, the availability and format of the information requested, and whether input is required from multiple officials, divisions, or external agencies. Given this variability, an average cost would not accurately reflect the work involved.
