Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation

Online Content Moderation: Discussion

Ms Isabella Plunkett:

I thank the Deputy again for the kind words. To outline it briefly, we can go and see a wellness coach and we can do these sessions for an hour a week. We are only entitled to an hour and a half a week of wellness, for example, if we see some very harsh content and we need to walk away to get a cup of tea or go for a cigarette. An hour and a half is not enough. The services provided to us, although they involve amazing people who try their best, do not have the capability and the necessary scope for what we are dealing with. I would love to see it change into the future because mental health is so important. It is talked about so much these days. It should be a priority. That is all I have to add.
