What we are
Clear Gate Systems helps Irish SMEs build AI capability, train their teams, and govern how AI runs safely and sustainably. Every engagement includes structured governance and, where relevant, EU AI Act and related obligations. Eileen Weadick holds specialist EU AI Act compliance training (AIActTPro certified) and applies that knowledge as a practical component of every engagement.
What we are not
Clear Gate Systems does not provide legal advice, legal interpretation of specific obligations, or regulatory representation. Where your organisation requires a formal legal opinion, on the classification of a specific system, on contractual obligations with an AI vendor, or on regulatory exposure, a qualified solicitor or barrister must be engaged. Our role is to build the technical governance infrastructure that qualified legal counsel can stand behind.
