Minister Jack Chambers is launching 'Guidelines for the Responsible use of Artificial Intelligence in the Public Service'. Artificial Intelligence is changing how we live, work, and engage with the world around us. Governments worldwide face the challenge of meeting the digital expectations of their end-users while keeping pace with advancements in technology. These Guidelines compliment and inform strategies regarding the adoption of innovative technology and ways of working already underway in the public service, and seek to set a high standard for public service transformation and innovation, while prioritising public trust and people's rights. The Guidelines have been developed to actively empower public servants to use AI in the delivery of services. By firmly placing the human in the process, these guidelines aim to enhance public trust in how Government uses AI. A range of resources designed to support the adoption of AI have been developed, including clear information on Government's Principles for Responsible AI, a Decision Framework for evaluating the potential use of AI, a Responsible AI Canvas Tool to be used at planning stage, and the AI Lifecycle Guidance tool. Other government supports available to public service organisations also include learning and development materials and courses for public servants at no cost. In this regard, and in addition to its existing offering on AI, the Institute for Public Administration will provide a tutorial and in-person training dedicated to the AI Guidelines to further assist participants in applying the guidelines in their own workplaces. The guidelines contain examples of how AI is already being used across public services, including: St. Vincent's University Hospital exploring the potential for AI to assist with performing heart ultrasound scans, in order to help reduce waiting times for patients. The Revenue Commissioners using Large Language Models to route taxpayer queries more efficiently, ensuring faster and more accurate responses. The Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine developing an AI-supported solution to detect errors in grant applications and reduce processing times for applications. Minister Jack Chambers said: "AI offers immense possibilities to improve the provision of public services. These guidelines support public service bodies in undertaking responsible innovation in a way that is practical, helpful and easy to follow. "In keeping with Government's AI strategy, the guidance as well as the learning and development supports being offered by the Institute for Public Administration, will help public servants to pursue those opportunities in a way that is responsible. "AI is already transforming our world and it is crucial that we embrace that change and adapt quickly in order to deliver better policy and better public services for the people of Ireland." Minister of State for Public Procurement, Digitalisation and eGovernment, Emer Higgins said: "AI holds the potential to revolutionise how we deliver services, make decisions, and respond to the needs of our people. These guidelines will support thoughtful integration of AI into our public systems, enhance efficiency, and reduce administrative burdens and financial cost. Importantly, this will be done with strong ethical and human oversight, ensuring fairness, transparency, accountability, and the protection of rights and personal data at every step." Minister of State for Trade Promotion, Artificial Intelligence and Digital Transformation, Niamh Smyth said: "Government is committed to leveraging the potential of AI for unlocking productivity, addressing societal challenges, and delivering enhanced services. The guidelines launched today are part of a whole of government approach to putting in place the necessary enablers to underpin responsible and impactful AI adoption across the public service. They are an important step in meeting government's objective of better outcomes through AI adopti...

Please join us at patreon.com/tortoiseshack Workers Rights Champions, Matt McGranaghan and Martin McMahon discuss the An Post Bogus self-employment case that is dragging along (delayed again) in the High Court. This is potentially another seismic case on the abuse of employment status by yet another semi-state business. The historic nature of the (alleged?) wrongdoing means that An Post has everything to lose, and its not great for the Revenue Commissioners either.

Gráinne Duggan SC and James Burke BL discuss a landmark ruling with important implications for tax professionals and corporate advisors. The Court of Appeal has delivered a pivotal decision in The Revenue Commissioners v. Covidien Limited. The judgment offers essential clarification on the criteria for VAT deductibility under EU law, overturning previous rulings by both the Tax Appeals Commission and the High Court. Central to the decision is a reaffirmation of the stringent interpretation of the “used for” test outlined in Article 168 of the Principal VAT Directive.

How important is the GAA in Irish life? How important is it to our politicians? Is it something they cherish or does it provide merely a photo opportunity and a chance to act as if they care? On Free State, Joe and Dion look at the Revenue Commissioners' probes into county boards. Everyone should be tax compliant but what does the treatment of small sums of money tell us about how the GAA is really valued.Joe looks at the tax breaks given to other sportspeople and the money that has come the way of horseracing and greyhounds over the last 20 years. The GAA is a cultural colossus whose importance is immeasurable. Those who provide the glory enrich the nation in a way those who fumble in the greasy till never could. It is time for Gombeen Ireland to recognise what goes on in the real Ireland.Free State with Joe Brolly and Dion Fanning is a Gold Hat Production in association with SwanMcG.For more on Free State: https://freestatepodcast.com/ Hosted on Acast.

Mayo GAA has become the second county this week to admit that it can't sign off on its accounts because of ongoing engagement with the Revenue Commissioners.

Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), a global leader in IT services, consulting and business solutions, has secured a 15-year contract with Ireland's Department of Social Protection (DSP) to implement and support the country's new Auto Enrolment Retirement Savings Scheme, known as the "My Future Fund." This initiative will provide a comprehensive, end-to-end digital solution for automatic enrolment of nearly 800,000 workers in Ireland. Leveraging its TCS BaNCS platform and ecosystem, TCS will oversee the administration of the scheme, enabling seamless enrolment, record management, and benefit disbursement. Services will be delivered through TCS' Global Delivery Centre in Letterkenny, Co. Donegal, Ireland. This project follows the passing of the Automatic Enrolment Retirement Savings System Bill in Ireland earlier this year and the conclusion of a rigorous tender process by the Department of Social Protection. Heather Humphreys, Minister for Social Protection, said, "I am pleased to welcome TCS on board as the managed service provider for My Future Fund. TCS has a wealth of relevant experience, having provided similar services in other countries. My officials and I will be working hard alongside TCS, the Revenue Commissioners and payroll software developers to make sure that My Future Fund is delivered on time and to the highest standard." TCS has experience with similar schemes in the UK and other markets, having managed the National Employment Savings Trust (NEST) since the UK government launched a digital auto-enrolment scheme in 2011. It created a digital design for NEST, implementing a user-friendly, self-serve model that supports over 13 million workers saving for retirement. Vivekanand Ramgopal, President, BFSI Products & Platforms, TCS, said, "We are privileged to partner with the Department of Social Protection for a nationally significant programme such as the digital Auto Enrolment Pension Scheme. We look forward to partnering with the Department and the new NAERSA organisation to implement the scheme. TCS has expertise and experience in delivering critical transformation projects in the UK and Ireland. We will leverage this experience and our knowledge of the market to make the pension system more accessible, transparent and efficient for workers in Ireland." The "My Future Fund" pension scheme will enable thousands of workers to save and invest for their future. The system will benefit everyone involved, from employers and operational staff to pensioners, by improving pension record management, timely payments, effective scheme finance management, and providing easy digital access to information. Deepak Chaudhari, Country Head of TCS Ireland, said: "This partnership is a fantastic opportunity for TCS Ireland to apply its deep contextual knowledge, innovation and to contribute to a project of national importance that will have a lasting impact. It is an exciting time for our talented team, as this initiative not only expands our capabilities but also job opportunities and skills development to Donegal; further strengthening our commitment to the region and to driving meaningful change in the pensions landscape." Strengthening TCS' nearshore capabilities, the global delivery centre in Letterkenny hosts state-of-the-art facilities and employs around 1,200 associates. It is one of the largest employers in the Northwest of Ireland. TCS set up operations in the UK & Ireland nearly 50 years ago and works with 200 of the region's best-known and most-loved businesses, including Aer Lingus, AIB life, Aviva, Bank of Ireland, ESB, British Airways, Primark, Sainsbury's, Nationwide, M&S, Asda and Boots. With its deep industry expertise and an employee strength of over 23,000 people across the UK and Ireland, TCS holds a leadership position in software and IT services in the UK and Irish markets.

The tax man collected a record €128bn last year buoyed by very robust income tax and continued strong corporation tax. Even more heartening for the government who will spend this money on our behalf, the revenue commissioners say compliance is up to 98%.

Joining Joe in studio this morning was Niall Cody the Chair of the Revenue Commissioners.

This episode reviewed the “McGee Case” (1973), in which Mary McGee, a 27-year-old mother of four, took a case against the Attorney General and the Revenue Commissioners, in Ireland, because at that time, she could not get access to contraceptives.  This case was selected by, Gerard Hogan, S.C., a leading Irish lawyer, author, and academic who provided the commentary and analysis.  It must be pointed out that Gerard Hogan's career advanced significantly, in the legal world, since the recording of his observations and contribution in 2005. Having served in the High Court and Court of Appeal, he was Ireland's appointee as Advocate General to the European Court of Justice, in 2018 and, in 2021, Mr Justice Gerard Hogan was appointed to the Irish Supreme Court.

In advance of Martin's appearance at the Public Accounts Committee, the Irish Examiners's Mick Clifford co-hosts with Tony in this podcast discussing bogus self employment. Martin, who has pursued the issue of bogus self employment for more than 20 years, is our guest. We discuss the letter from the Revenue Commissioners to the Public Accounts Committee confirming that Revenue have been labeling all couriers as self-employed since 1995 based on a 'Test Case' from the Social Welfare Appeals Office. Mick addresses bogus self employment in the construction sector and workers in the gig economy. With an estimated cost of €1 billion per annum to the exchequer and rulings from across the EU in relation to workers in the gig economy, there is no doubt that this issue is firmly on the agenda.

There have been allegations at Aer Lingus that many workers were left struggling to make ends meet. There have been reports that workers are “hovering around the poverty line”.  It’s reportedly as the company refused to sign off on paperwork granting them access to social welfare income support. Senator and former Minister for Social Protection Regina Doherty told Kieran on Monday's edition of the Hard Shoulder that she wants a review into the situation. Aer Lingus issued a statement to the Hard Shoulder: Aer Lingus implemented the Temporary Wage Subsidy Scheme in accordance with the guidance provided by the Department of Employment and Social Protection and the Revenue Commissioners.  In every case Aer Lingus passed on the full amount of the subsidy it received under the scheme to its employees.   Throughout this crisis Aer Lingus has sought where at all possible to maintain a direct employment relationship with its employees, which was the stated aim of that scheme.

Declan was a victim of a gang known to stalk the park at night, “queer bashing”.We also chart the changes in Irish law since that point in terms of rights for the LGBT+ community, which culminated in the passing of the Marriage Equality referendum in 2015.

The move would have massive consequences for Ireland, with the Revenue Commissioners estimating that Ireland would be worst impacted by the proposal. Jack Horgan-Jones and Ian Kehoe discuss the issue and its potential impact in a special edition of the Post Podcast.

Paradise Papers is the name given to a journalistic project organised by the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ) in Washington DC along with 96 media partners around the world, including The Irish Times. It is one of the largest data leaks in journalistic history, and involves the largest number of documents ever leaked. The leaked documents show how deeply the offshore financial system is entangled with the overlapping worlds of political players, private wealth and corporate giants, including Apple, Nike, Uber and other global companies that avoid taxes through increasingly imaginative bookkeeping maneuvers. Irish Times Legal Affairs Correspondent Colm Keena has been working on the project, and on this podcast he talks to Hugh Linehan about what has been uncovered, including the investments made by famous figures such as Bono and Queen Elizabeth, and the legal advice received by AIB when The Revenue Commissioners requested information about offshore deposits.

Trenchant ground is being staked out in Brussels and in London, as Brexit posturing continues before any real talks get underway. In this episode, Laura Slattery steps in for Ciarán Hancock to lead the team in a look at this and some of the other big stories of the week. It was a good day for the exchequer today, as the Central Bank’s annual report recorded a profit of 2.3bn euro for 2016. Eoin Burke-Kennedy reports on the main findings. The deadline for PAYE workers to declare tax on their offshore assets is 5.30pm, Thursday, May 4th. Deputy Business Editor Dominic Coyle explains why those missing the deadline are not likely to meet with any sympathy from the Revenue Commissioners. And, Markets Correspondent Joe Brennan casts the net stateside, where trouble is brewing between George Soros’s Quantum Partners fund and the board of Kennedy Wilson Europe.

A Home Renovation Incentive Scheme Special Peter Donegan meets with Pat Moland of The Irish Tax and Customs Revenue – or The Revenue Commissioners as they are better know, to discuss the Home Revenue Incentive Scheme [HRI].

The Joan Lea Show spoke with the pensioner whose irate letter to the Revenue Commissioners, in which he talks about the unjustness of the property tax, has gone viral.

“Gather up the pots and the old tin cans... the mash, the corn, the barley and the bran...run like the devil from the excise man...keep the smoke from rising barney...keep your eyes well peeled today, the excise men are on their way...” And we all know what the ‘mountain tay’ the excise men were looking for in the hills of Connemara! Poitin. It’s long associated with illegality: first outlawed back in 1661, it was relatively recently, in 1997, when the Revenue Commissioners permitted the licensed sale of it within Ireland. Ella meets Mairtin MacConrai, a part time farmer from Leitir Moir, Connemara, who first made poitin with his father 50 years ago. She also visits Cooley Distillery in Kilbeggan, Co. Westmeath where they are making 1,000 bottles of 65% proof poitin; she talks to head distiller Alex Chasko and manager, Brian Quinn.
