Clashes erupted in the Dáil over the X ‘nudification’ scandal, as PBP TD Paul Murphy accused the Government of failing to act on the issue.

During Leaders’ Questions on Wednesday, Mr Murphy said he was not accusing the Government of condoning sexual abuse material generated on X and its AI chatbot Grok, but argued it did not want to deal with the scandal.
