What will Dublin’s EU presidency bring?

Dublin is not an impartial mediator on sensitive digital issues, warns columnist Johnny Ryan in The Guardian:

“The EU’s tech and AI rulebook will be renegotiated during the same period, but the Irish state and economy have been captured by big tech. Ireland is so compromised that as president of the Council of the EU, it should recuse itself from all tech and digital sovereignty negotiations. … If it will not recuse itself from all tech discussions during its six-month presidency, then Berlin, Paris, Warsaw, Madrid and Brussels should pile the same kind of pressure on Ireland some of them did after the banking crisis. What was unfair then would be entirely fair this time.”
