'Disturbing rise' in young people planning and filming attacks, Dáil hears 

Sinn Féin TD Pearse Doherty: 'It is clear that social media companies are not doing enough to root out this violent content from their platforms.'

There is a "disturbing rise" in young people orchestrating attacks and filming them for public online consumption, the Dáil has heard.

Calling for social media companies to act and remove such content, Sinn Féin TD Pearse Doherty said he was “utterly disgusted and sickened to the core” to see the video of an attack on a boy in Navan.
