A local TD says questions need to be answered over the Department of Justice monitoring and collecting comments that are critical of Direct Provision.
According to the Sunday Independent, department officials have been compiling daily reports of social media posts from people discussing the system.
Sligo Leitrim Sinn Fein TD, Martin Kenny, wonders what this information is being used for and if it is common practice in other departments.
Speaking to OceanFM News, Deputy Kenny says he has written to the Minister of Justice, Helen McEntee, seeking clarification on what exactly the lists are being used for.
