How are Irish workplaces navigating the AI transition? 🤖🇮🇪

New Eurobarometer data reveals a picture of how SMEs and mid-caps in Ireland approach artificial intelligence and algorithmic management in the workplace.

While 13% of Irish businesses plan to adopt AI tools in the next two years (ahead of the EU average), questions around high investment costs and workforce trust remain.

Today, these themes are under discussion in Dublin as Taoiseach Micheál Martin, European Commissioners Henna Virkkunen, Michael McGrath, and Ekaterina Zaharieva gather for the International AI Summit.

Did you run in solidarity yesterday? 🏃‍♂️💙

In Dublin, we joined people in more than 100 countries for the Global Solidarity Run - running, walking and wheeling in support of people who have been forcibly displaced or are living in extreme poverty.

There was plenty of movement, but also coffee, chats and that sense of belonging that the Sanctuary Runners Ireland is all about ☕️

The European Commission was proud to support the event, with Commissioners Glenn Micallef | European Commissioner and Hadja Lahbib also joining us in the weeks leading up to it. 🇪🇺💙

We're half way through the Ireland's EU Presidency 🇮🇪🇪🇺

While the Presidency will pass to another country, the idea of Europe and European cooperation with its 27 states and common policies will continue growing in a beautiful EU garden in Cork.

One month ago, we have officially re-opened "Shared Roots, Common Shade" EU Garden in Cork's Marina Park.

For generations, the Boyle family has farmed Bencroy Mountain in Co. Leitrim.

Now Matthew, his father Andrew, and Fred 🐕, are among around 40 local farmers and land managers helping bring its blanket bog back to health through WaterLANDS, an EU-funded project restoring wetlands across Europe.

More than €2 million in EU funding is supporting WaterLANDS’ work in Ireland, combining local knowledge with scientific expertise to restore these important landscapes for generations to come. 🇮🇪🇪🇺
