Social Media, Fares, and Courts in Crisis | Belfast News
Description
Labour TD Alan Kelly is ramping up pressure on social media giants like TikTok and Meta to take responsibility for content that endangers young people, especially after a tragic M9 incident — with TikTok initially refusing to meet demands, sparking fiery backlash. Meanwhile, Tánaiste Simon Harris is praised for his masterful voter engagement, proving communication skills matter more than ever. But not everyone’s getting a thumbs-up: Climate and Transport Minister Darragh O’Brien and Taoiseach Micheál Martin are facing fury for hiking public transport fares amid a cost of living and climate crisis — especially after subsidizing fossil fuels. And Justice Minister Jim O’Callaghan is under fire as legal aid strikes cripple the courts, leaving defendants without representation — with critics saying he’s ignoring ground realities, risking both justice and his political future.
