Ireland’s new government CIO wants to end the form-filling groundhog day's
Transform Gov - the digital government podcastShow Notes
Ireland's Government CIO Louise McKeever returns for part 2 to talk about what it actually takes to join up government services around citizens. Louise takes us inside:
🔹 Digital building blocks — the reusable infrastructure (gov.ie, e-forms, payments, messaging, a digital wallet) that means departments don't have to rebuild the same systems 🔹 Leading without authority — how you coordinate a whole government's worth of independently governed departmental CIOs toward one shared goal 🔹 Data as a national asset — and why citizen trust has to come before the benefits 🔹 Digital sovereignty — what "resilience and control" really means for Ireland during its EU presidency 🔹 Life events — how registering a birth, a bereavement, further education and social housing are being redesigned as one simple experience, hiding the departmental complexity behind them

Every new policy asks people to do something differently, but training is often treated as a mere afterthough, taking place after rollout. So what if we flipped the process? What if we treated learning as an essential, so policy actually changes what happens on the ground?
Recorded live at the All-Ireland Clinical AI Congress in Belfield, this episode features Dr Amrita Kumar, Radiology and AI Clinical Lead at Medica and a consultant breast radiologist who has built hospital-wide AI implementation from scratch — first in the NHS, now in the UAE.
Ireland is about to spend €275 billion on infrastructure with a workforce that's already stretched. So what is the difference between AI as a nice-to-have productivity tool, and AI as the thing that actually closes the gap between what we need to deliver and the people we have to deliver it?
