One of Coimisiún na Meán’s key priorities is electoral and information integrity. We are aware that candidates running for election can have a hard time online and may experience harm. As a result, we have created this information pack for candidates that provides guidance on what to do if they are faced with illegal or harmful content online.
The pack includes:
- six scenarios that will help candidates understand how and when they should report to Coimisiún na Meán,
- step-by-step explainers on how to report harmful and illegal content online (X, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok)
- information on your rights under the Online Safety Framework
- a dedicated email that will fast-track your query to Coimisiún na Meán (politicalrep@cnam.ie).
This information pack has been developed in partnership with An Garda Síochána.
- Election candidate information pack
- Your Rights Online infographic
