Requesting any similar information that your Department is collecting on Irish social media commentary on the actions of your Department. In order to be perfectly clear, I would like to receive any information (posts, comments, shares/retweets, likes etc.) that your Department has been collecting and collating from Irish Social Media. While the information published by the Irish Times could be said to be collecting as a means of 'gauging public opinion', the information I am requesting does not need to inherently do the same, but if you could include the purpose for which it was collected, that would be much appreciated.
