X and Garda co-operation
Deputy O'Reilly seeks clarity after claims by the Justice Minister that X did not co-operate with gardaí during the Dublin riots.
We all know how important foreign direct investment and large social media companies are to the economy. The Minister for Justice made a serious charge last week when she said that X, formerly known as Twitter, was not co-operating with gardaí about the Dublin riots and that company's responsibility. This has been categorically refuted today by the company. It is not a good situation where a major employer is in dispute with the Minister for Justice. Can we get clarity from the Minister? Did the company not co-operate with the gardaí or should the Minister come in and correct the Dáil record?
