Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation

Online Content Moderation: Discussion

Ms Fionnuala Ní Bhrógáin:

The Deputy is absolutely correct. They are not supposed to discuss the content they have seen or the impact it has on them. That is extraordinary given that, as Ms Plunkett has said, they do not have the psychiatric or mental health support we feel would be necessary given this is a workplace health and safety issue. Not even to be able to go home and have the comfort and support of your own family members as a release for that trauma is an extraordinary burden to place on workers given the nature of the content they are viewing.
