============================================================

Mary Seery Kearney (FG), Nominated by the Taoiseach

We need to have a debate on how we deal with that. A former journalist is putting out a newspaper on a regular basis that is full of lies and misinformation. We seem powerless to stop that. This is having an effect on people who do not enter into such information with critical thinking asking what the agenda is, how this is truthful, and what it actually means. It is infecting communities where there are fears. I want us to have a debate on how we deal with that.
