Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government

Role of Chairperson of Housing Agency and Related Matters: Discussion

1:30 pm

Mr. Conor Skehan:

Deputy Mick Barry asked a question on social media. I am the chairman of a company that helps people to protect their reputations online. People who are involved in social media sign up and the company, which is called RiskEye, monitors what they do to see if they are getting in trouble. If they are getting into trouble, we give them advice to get out of it.

Occasionally information like this gets entrained. That means one is watching a site because, for instance, a beauty blogger got herself in trouble because she made outrageous claims and people are giving out to her about it. That kind of stuff crops up. It is called entrainment. It is entrained with a big, long flow of stuff that is being looked at. Does that answer the question?
