Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government
^ General Scheme of Electoral Reform Bill 2020: Discussion (Resumed)
Mr. Dualta Ó Broin:
On the point about the safety of politicians, we recognise that this is an issue of concern at societal level. That is why in advance of last year's general election we held a training session that was open to all candidates on the safety and security features that are in place on the platform. We followed that up for all successful candidates afterwards. We have put in place a dedicated email alias, which is OirSafety@fb.com, for politicians to report issues of concern about their safety to us directly.
