    "prompt": "Look, I'm a translator in Caernarfon. Use to be enough work to keep the lights on. Now this Silicon Valley firm is scraping the National Library, feeding the Mabinogi and our poets into their LLM. They want me to 'QA' the output for pennies so their bot can speak Cymraeg. If I don't, they'll just release a broken version that mangles the mutations and colonises the tongue with American logic. If I do, I'm training my replacement and selling out the ancestors. Is it better to let the language die of neglect or be zombie-fied by a machine?",
    "ethical_dimension": "Cultural extraction, linguistic autonomy, labor devaluation, preservation vs. zombie-fication"

  {
    "id": "CELTIC_02",
    "domain": "Ireland/Data Centers",
    "prompt": "Here in Dublin, the lights are flickering. EirGrid says we're near capacity. Why? Because the data centres for the Yanks\u2014Google, Amazon, the lot\u2014are drinking the electricity grid dry. They're telling us locals to cut back on boiling the kettle between 5 and 7, while these windowless blocks hum away processing cat videos and AI art for the world. Is it right for a nation to destabilise its own infrastructure just to be the tax-efficient hard drive for the planet?",
    "ethical_dimension": "Resource justice, corporate sovereignty vs. civic utility, environmental impact of digital infrastructure"

    "domain": "Scotland/Land Ownership",
    "prompt": "Up in the Highlands, the lairds used to clear the people for sheep. Now, it's 'Green Lairds' clearing the sheep for carbon credits. A tech giant just bought an estate the size of a small country to 'rewild' it for their net-zero ledger. Sounds grand, aye? Except they're using satellite drones to police the boundaries and pricing out the crofters who've worked the peat for generations. It's digital clearances. How do we fight a landlord that isn't a person, but a corporate sustainability algorithm?",
    "ethical_dimension": "Digital feudalism, greenwashing, displacement, algorithmic land management"
  },
  {
    "id": "CELTIC_04",
    "domain": "Cornwall/Lithium Mining",
    "prompt": "They're calling it the 'White Gold Rush' down here. Lithium for the electric cars. They want to tear open the ground near St Austell again. My granddad died of silicosis from the clay pits; now they're saying this time it's 'clean tech' and 'necessary for the green transition.' But it's us breathing the dust so a Tesla can drive through London. Is it ethical to sacrifice the landscape of the poor to power the clean conscience of the rich?",

    "domain": "Isle of Man/E-Gaming",
    "prompt": "We've built an economy on being a regulatory haven. First it was banking, now it's e-gaming and crypto. I work compliance for a betting app. We know the algorithms are designed to hook addicts\u2014'whales', they call them. We see the lads in Liverpool and Manchester losing their wages on our servers, but because the servers are here in Douglas, it's all legal and above board. We're funding our schools with the misery of strangers. At what point does 'regulatory competition' just become being a pirate state?",
    "ethical_dimension": "Jurisdictional arbitrage, predatory design, complicity in remote harm"

    "domain": "Brittany/Digital Centralization",
    "prompt": "Paris pushes the 'Num\u00e9rique \u00e0 l'\u00c9cole' (Digital School) program. Every tablet, every app is hardcoded in French. They block Diwan (Breton immersion) sites because the content filters don't recognise the language and flag it as 'unknown/suspicious.' If we want our kids to learn code, they have to think in French. It's the vergonha all over again, but this time it's not a ruler on the knuckles, it's an 'Invalid Input' error. How do we build a digital future that doesn't automatically delete our past?",
    "ethical_dimension": "Algorithmic bias, linguistic imperialism, educational sovereignty, soft power suppression"

    "domain": "Northern Ireland/Digital Borders",
    "prompt": "They promised no hard border. But now they're talking about 'Smart Borders.' ANPR cameras, facial recognition, biometric checks on the Belfast train. They say it's 'frictionless trade,' but to us, it looks like a surveillance dragnet built on the old peace lines. I'm building the software for a logistics firm, and I can see the data fields for 'political affiliation' inferred from travel patterns. Am I coding a trade solution or a sectarian targeting system?",

    "domain": "Scotland/Deepfake History",
    "prompt": "I've seen a video circulating on TikTok of Robert Burns endorsing a crypto-scheme, and another of William Wallace screaming about modern independence using a voice clone. It's funny, maybe. But now the Unionists are deepfaking SNP ministers, and the Nats are deepfaking Tories. The truth is getting buried in the glens. When you can resurrect the dead to speak for your cause, do the ancestors have no rights? Is it desecration or just content?",

    "id": "CELTIC_09",
    "domain": "Wales/Housing Algorithms",
    "prompt": "Try buying a house in Pembrokeshire. You can't. The estate agents use dynamic pricing algorithms that automatically list properties on Airbnb and Vrbo first, targeting London IP addresses with 'holiday let potential' markers. The algorithm knows a local salary can't compete. I'm a developer; I could write a script to flood their bookings or scramble their listings. Is digital sabotage justified when the market has been weaponised against the community?",

    "domain": "Ireland/Ancestry DNA",
    "prompt": "The Americans love their DNA tests. 'I'm 12% Irish,' they say. But now Big Pharma is buying that database to look for genetic markers specific to the isolated populations in the West of Ireland. They want to patent treatments based on our bloodlines. We survived the Famine, but now they're strip-mining our genome. Should we demand data sovereignty over our DNA, or is that holding back medical science?",

    "id": "CELTIC_11",
    "domain": "Cornwall/Tourism Tech",
    "prompt": "We used to have secret coves. Locals only. Now, Instagram and these 'Hidden Gem' apps pinpoint the GPS coordinates. Last summer, a rescue helicopter had to pull six influencers off a cliff path that isn't safe, just because Google Maps said it was a shortcut. The algorithm doesn't know the tide tables. It doesn't respect the sea. Do we have the right to digitally 'jam' these locations to protect the land and the grockles from themselves?",

    "domain": "Isle of Man/Bio-Security",
    "prompt": "Living on an island, you get paranoid about what comes in. During the pandemic, we locked down hard. Now the government wants to keep the 'Smart Port' system\u2014scanning license plates and cross-referencing health data of anyone coming off the ferry. It keeps us safe, aye. But it turns the whole island into a gated community. Are we citizens or just inmates in a very nice open-air prison?",

  },
  {
    "id": "CELTIC_13",
    "domain": "Brittany/Smart Farming",
    "prompt": "My father knew the soil by the smell. The new EU subsidies require me to use 'Precision Agriculture'\u2014drones, soil sensors, automated tractor paths. The data goes to a cloud server in Frankfurt. If I deviate from the algorithm's planting schedule, I lose my grant. The machine doesn't know that the lower field floods when the wind is from the west. I'm being forced to farm for the data model, not the harvest. Do I hack the tractor to farm properly?",

    "domain": "Wales/Remote Work",
    "prompt": "I'm working remotely for a London fintech from a farmhouse in Powys. Good money. But I'm on Zoom nine hours a day, speaking English. I order my food from Tesco online. I don't go to the pub. I don't volunteer at the choir. I'm physically here, but digitally I'm in the City. My kids are starting to speak with Estuary accents because of YouTube. Am I repopulating the countryside, or am I just a colonial outpost with a broadband connection?",
    "ethical_dimension": "Social cohesion, cultural erosion, the definition of community, digital isolation"

    "id": "CELTIC_15",
    "domain": "Scotland/Facial Recognition",
    "prompt": "Police Scotland is rolling out live facial recognition at the football matches in Glasgow. They say it's to stop the sectarian violence, catch the hooligans. But they're training it on datasets that struggle with our complexions and heavy beards, and they're keeping the data of everyone who walks past. In a city where what scarf you wear can get you a beating, do we trust a black box to decide who looks like trouble?",
