Show Notes
Are politicians being harassed out of office on social media? As a wave of Irish TDs leave office, partially citing invective and coarseness online, how is our new TikTok Taoiseach doing? Joining Adrian to discuss this is the Fine Gael TD for Galway East, Ciaran Cannon, who recently announced that he would not run again for the Dail, partially because of how ugly things were getting online Adrian is also joined by Damien Mulley, director of Mulley Communications, who has conducted extensive research into how politicians fare online and who is doing best.
