Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government
Local and European Elections 2024 and Subsequent General Election: Discussion

The question has already come up about monitoring and managing social media, online content and how it has the ability to twist and turn. It has the agility to move quickly. I am intrigued to know how we can possibly try to address it. It seems like a slippery fish, and it keeps evolving and changing. When we looked at the electoral reform Bill at this committee and started to lift the lid, I realised you could go a long way trying to chase this.
Is that the best way to try to manage it, or is the best way to counter with clear, concise and regular information campaigns for everybody? I am talking about having an alternative source rather than trying to chase the elusive one.
