Facebook ‘inaction’ before Oireachtas

The Facebook cyberbullying which led to 28 students being suspended at a Co Limerick secondary school is to be brought before an Oireachtas committee.

Noel Malone, principal of Coláiste Chiaráin in Croom, said he was determined not to take “lying down” the manner in which Facebook dealt with the matter.

Accusing Facebook of “inaction” and “trying to cover their tracks”, Mr Malone said it was a serious matter that could pose a threat to people’s lives.
