The Longford-Westmeath rep feels it reflects a lack of proper funding in mental health services.
AI chatbots are a desperate last resort for people trying to access counselling in Ireland.
That's the view of Sinn Fein's Sorca Clarke who says thousands of Irish people are now using AI platforms as a source to cope with various mental health issues.
The Longford-Westmeath TD feels it's reflective of Government's action in failing to properly fund mental health services and deal with CAMHS waiting lists.
Deputy Clarke says AI is not a subsitute in any way for professional help:
