Ireland’s leader defended probe into X, saying EU, not Ireland, regulates the platform, and local laws are being enforced.
Taoiseach Micheál Martin defended Ireland’s handling of investigations into social media platform X during a Dáil debate on February 4, rejecting claims of inaction.
He stated Irish police were already probing around 200 complaints related to suspected child sexual abuse material and emphasized that the European Commission, not Ireland, oversees very large online platforms like X. Martin dismissed opposition accusations that Ireland was avoiding responsibility as dishonest, noting the country is cooperating with the European probe through its media regulator, Coimisiún na Meán, which has not launched a separate national investigation.
He maintained that all applicable laws are being enforced and rejected suggestions Ireland was prioritizing tech industry ties over enforcement.
