Fine Gael MEP Colm Markey is calling for a ban on the use of the social media platform TikTok on government issued phones. The Midlands North-West MEP has written to both the Ceann Comhairle and the Taoiseach, urging them to instigate the TikTok ban.
Both the European Commission and the European Parliament have already banned staff from using the app on official devices. Colm Markey is calling for a similar ban in Ireland.
Well Karen Coleman from EuroParlRadio caught up with Colm Markey in the European Parliament in Strasbourg this week and she spoke to him about banning TikTok.
