Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Arson Attacks: Discussion (5 Mar 2024)

Thomas Pringle: My apologies for being late. We started a bit early. The Cathaoirleach sent me a text, but it was too late by that stage. Ms McDonald's presentation was important, given the hate speech that is out there. One of the most important aspects of this matter relates to social media companies, as was rightly highlighted, and their recommender systems. We do not see what the algorithm says,...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Arson Attacks: Discussion (5 Mar 2024)

Thomas Pringle: Obviously, they are on YouTube to make money for themselves and to fund their ongoing hatred. Can we target the money? Would it be possible to target the money and stop it being collected as a way of addressing the issue? I have a final question that is not related. What can we do now with regard to policing these organisations? Is there anything we can do? Could the Garda be more...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Arson Attacks: Discussion (5 Mar 2024)

Thomas Pringle: On policing, our guests are probably aware that representatives of the Garda will be coming before the committee. I will ask about the policing of the arson attacks that are happening. Our guests may not know the answer to my question, which is fair enough. We have heard through the media that the Garda is stating no one person is organising all of this, which is fair enough as these...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Arson Attacks: Discussion (5 Mar 2024)

Thomas Pringle: I thank the deputy commissioner, Dr. Coxon. I think I met her in Tullamore previously. In her opening statement she said "At the moment, there is nothing to suggest there is an overarching conspiracy involved in these attacks". That is probably right and fair enough. All these incidents have happened in different locations. However, there is a common theme, in that they are inspired by...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Arson Attacks: Discussion (5 Mar 2024)

Thomas Pringle: I note that Dr. Coxon mentioned at a national level, the special detective unit, which I assume is a body used to investigate such crime as organised crime and subversive crime, so a lot of secrecy surrounds it. We do not actually know if investigations are taking place of the individuals. Certain individuals are inspiring all these crimes. When will we see some action on that? I...
