- Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Social Media (12 Dec 2023)
Gino Kenny: Some of these agitators are benefiting financially from the content they put up online. In fact, that is how they grow their status and following.

We have already seen that social media plays a significant role for the far right and how it spreads its disinformation and rhetoric. Will the Minister give us a progress report on how she got on with those social media platforms?

However, in recent years, certain agitators have used rhetoric and tones it is incredible they get away with. Social media platforms have a responsibility, for those who are viewing this stuff and for society...

Gino Kenny: Does Dr. McQuillan understand why some people would want to prevent it from actually getting that far? Getting to the stage where they are sedated, they have a lot of pain and they are suffering. Can Dr. McQuillan understand why somebody would say, "I do not want to go through that; I just want to have a say in how I actually die?", which I think is a fundamental human right. Can Dr....
