TDs have said they will question Twitter representatives about the abusive comments directed at the Ryans during an Oireachtas committee meeting today.

Image: RTÉ Image: RTÉ MEMBERS OF AN Oireachtas committee which is meeting with representatives from Twitter is planning to challenge the company over its handling of the online abuse received by Fiona Ryan and her family on its platform.

Today, members of the joint-Oireachtas committee are meeting with representatives from Twitter, Facebook and Google to discuss online harassment, and to look at the steps these companies are taking to address hateful content on their platforms. “That cannot continue, and I think anyone that witnessed their experience will want to see these companies move to change, or be forced to change.”

During the Late Late Show on Friday, presenter Ryan Tubridy read out a tweet from the account of former Irish Independent journalist and unsuccessful presidential candidate, Gemma O’Doherty. It said, “German dump @lidl_ireland gaslighting the Irish people with their multicultural version of ‘The Ryans’. Kidding no-one! Resist the Great Replacement wherever you can by giving this kip a wide berth. #ShopIrish #BuyIrish.

Sticks and stones? Have they nothing better to discuss?

Or is it *Today, during an Oireachtas committee meeting, TDs will question Twitter representatives about the abusive comments directed at the Ryans* syntax

abusive comments directed at the Ryans during an Oireachtas committee meeting today ?

Whoever is guilty of that ridiculous, offensive, uneducated, just-plain-stupid behaviour needs to face real consequences. Ireland does not need that type of stupidity!!

Abusive comments directed at the Ryans during an Oireachtas committee meeting? Surely not? Or is the sentence just poorly constructed?

They could start by getting everyone on twitter verified and using their real name.

Why aren't the Guards doing that

And hopfully they will also investigate the fact they are paid actors and not a couple and also fiona Ryan lives in England who pretends she will leave Ireland due to comments made to her! Do your research people, its very clear there paid actors to push this fake hate speech law

Their address was UK before this

They could also ave the Ryan's in and ask, Were they paid to be on LLS. Were their flights/sailing booked to return to UK prior to G O'D tweet Who decided which tweet to read out. & why not read out the death threat as it had more shock value

Get ready for being arrested for 'mean tweets'

Is she returning to her home in England ?

Study that heading. Why is an Oireachtas Committee directing abusive comments at the Ryan’s?

Remember if you dare question the story your a member of the ku klux klan.

This is a big PR stunt, they don’t even live in Ireland. 🇮🇪 Also: the ‘threats’ were never made public or proven to be real. Are they even married, as was initially reported?

Would be better to go to local Gardai and make complaint under incitement to hatered legislation, than doing political grandstanding, shinners and others have short memory from using dail as a safe haven to make personal attacks worse than social media

This is hilarious.

Don’t get how they couldn’t track the death threats through an ip address. Calling it a civil matter is bizarre

And keyboard cowards comment in 3,2,1...National something something, Ireland for Irish something something, took our jobs something something.....

No doubt they're shaking in their boots.
