Paul Hosford: Covid discussion panel puts spotlight on misinformation

TD Sharon Keogan organised an event in Leinster House which featured a panel of prominent far-right individuals and anti-vaccination campaigners, writes Paul Hosford

Senator Sharon Keogan has been criticised for arranging a briefing for politicians and political staff entitled 'WHO pandemic treaty, know the facts'.

The AV Room at Leinster House is often used to host information sessions or lectures.

The modern marble room, hidden behind a nondescript door beside a bust of Countess Markievicz, with its steep seating and built-in top table, is more akin to a lecture hall than anything else, and on a given week, it can be booked out by TDs and Senators to hold information events.
