SOCIAL MEDIA POSTS purporting to show a screen-shot of a tweet attributed to recently re-elected Green Party leader Eamon Ryan have been circulating online recently.
There is no evidence of the tweet’s existence when either searching Ryan’s account using Twitter’s own search function, or putting the key words into Google. A tweet from the exact same time on the same date, with roughly the same number of likes and retweets, however does exist.This tweet was sent at 1.13pm on 29 June 2018, using Twitter Web Client. The fake tweet has 42 retweet and 130 likes, and this real tweet has 45 and 131, with engagement from the past couple of weeks accounting for the difference.
The posts began circulating shortly after O’Gorman received his ministerial appointment from Taoiseach Micheál Martin. The image of a tweet claiming to be from Eamon Ryan’s account about Tatchell appears to have been altered and there is no evidence to support its existence on his account either now or in 2018.
