Micheal Carrigy believes companies should face the Oireachtas Media Committee on posts around the Carlow shooting.
Social media companies should be held accountable before the Oireachtas Media Committee on disinformation policies after a midlands shooting incident over the weekend.
That's the view of Fine Gael TD for Longford-Westmeath Micheal Carrigy following social media posts about the incident in Carlow on Sunday.
Users falsely claimed the incident was a mass shooting carried out by a foreign national, with Gardai later confirming the shooter was a white Irish male.
Deputy Carrigy says there's more companies can do to stop such posts:
