"It was "misconceived" for a Department of Housing official to repost a controversial video offering advice to young people moving back into the family home, the Housing Minister has conceded."
"Speaking before the Oireachtas housing committee on Tuesday, James Browne said his department had "no role" in the production of the social media video, which was widely pilloried by the Opposition on Tuesday."
A Department of Housing official reposted a social-media video offering advice to young people moving back into the family home. The reposted video attracted strong criticism from Opposition politicians. The Housing Minister described the reposting as "misconceived". The Minister told the Oireachtas housing committee that the department had "no role" in producing the video. The episode prompted scrutiny of departmental handling of social-media content and the boundaries of official engagement. The incident raised questions about internal communications, oversight of staff social-media activity, and the need for clearer guidance on official online conduct.
