Artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly changing workplaces and threatening jobs, but students of AI planning a career in the area are among those facing the most precarious of futures. The UK’s National Foundation for Education Research found last year that the number of tech jobs there had declined by 50 per cent over five years. More than 600 students are on undergraduate and postgraduate AI courses in Ireland including those at Tallaght. Student Imran Bennekrela says CVs are scanned by AI in the recruitment process and there is a “back and forth with AI checking for AI”. Internships are now a key component of courses, developed with employers, that offer students work experience that is otherwise hard to come by.

Under a new code, data centres would be required to remain connected to the grid during the millisecond-long faults that sometimes arise on the electricity system. The same issue has been flagged in countries worldwide where data centres are expanding and increasing their demand for power. Ireland has seen a sharp increase in the amount of data centres in operation in recent years, but are they necessary for economic growth? Video: Enda O'DowdThe derogation would run for two years, after which all data centres – and other large energy users such as big manufacturing plants – would have to comply.

Housing, housing, housing: it’s an everybody, everywhere, all at once problem. Today, employer-provided accommodation has been the norm in hospitality, farming and lower-wage jobs for many years.

Legendary rock guitarist Lindsey Buckingham, best known for his longtime tenure in Fleetwood Mac, was attacked in Los Angeles on Wednesday. Born in California's Bay Area in 1949, Buckingham joined Fleetwood Mac in 1975 and enlisted his then-lover Stevie Nicks to the band.

Hedgehogs find refuge in Irish gardens where patches of growth are long enough for them to hideMarch and early April in Ireland is when hedgehogs stir from hibernation. “They’re probably in decline here, because they’ve declined everywhere else,” says Elaine O’Riordan, whose PhD research at University of Galway investigates Irish hedgehogs. The same may be true in Ireland, but we don’t have numbers now or historic numbers for comparison. “The battle to save hedgehogs is going to take place in our own backyards, in gardens, because that is where they live nowadays,” she says. In Denmark, hedgehogs living in residential areas routinely visit 10 to 14 gardens, often following a similar route each night.
