Ruairi Ó Murchú (Louth, Sinn Fein) | Oireachtas source

I raise the issue of online disinformation and hate. On Sunday, a man filmed himself as he seemed to knock down a cyclist on the Castletown Road in Dundalk and then posted the video. The Garda is investigating.

Concerning Carlingford, I have spoken to the Minister on the need for communication with the community but we have all been bombarded with online disinformation, conspiracy theories and hateful stuff. I have also seen videos where wrong addresses have been put up as being those of people who have committed crimes, which has endangered families. We need to ensure we have all the tools necessary to deal with this.
