The Daily PollPoll: Have you ever got in trouble for a post on social media?
A small number of gardaí have faced disciplinary procedures in relation to their use of social media.
IT WAS CONFIRMED to TheJournal.ie that a ‘small number’ of Gardaí are facing internal investigation for their use of social media such as Facebook and Twitter.
It’s understood the investigations come on foot of a recently finalised internal Garda Síochána policy on how members should conduct themselves online.
With 56% of the Irish population having a Facebook account and 1 in 5 of us with a Twitter account – the platform for slip-ups is certainly a big one.
So we’re asking: Have you ever got in trouble with work for something you posted online?:
