Una and Andrea's United Ireland

Ireland currently has a gaping hole when it comes to regulating online campaigning. We talk to Liz Carolan who is behind the Fair Play Pledge about online campaigning, why we need an Electoral Commission, who’s spending what online, and more. As we release this recently recorded episode, Liz has just released news of a breach of Facebook political advertising policies by Renua. The ads, which were running under the radar of being flagged as political advertising, contained dog-whistle anti-immigration messaging and highlight the fact that we just don’t know what anyone is seeing online. This is an important episode with a woman who is doing incredibly important work.
