Ireland's AI for Care strategy positions AI as something that will strengthen human relationships in healthcare, not replace them. That framing is designed to manage public anxiety. COALESCE, by placing ethical AI and Ireland's institutional past under the same funding umbrella [2], is making a structural argument the strategy does not: that the anxiety is historically earned, and that earned anxiety requires something more than reassurance to resolve. The research programme treats past harm as a design constraint on future systems — and that constraint is now publicly funded.
