  • 19 October
  • 20 October – The teenager who received inappropriate messages from Niall Ó Donnghaile revealed he was 16-years-old at the time, contradicting a claim by Mary Lou McDonald that he was 17 and called for her apology for the party's "disastrous handling" of his case, saying her tribute to Ó Donnghaile when he resigned was "like a mental stab".[107]

  • 31 October – An internet rumour that a Hallowe'en parade would take place on O'Connell Street in Dublin attracted hundreds of people into the city. The hoax led to brief public transport disruption and gardaí asked the crowd to disperse.[109]

  • 15 December
    • Israel announced that it will close its embassy in Ireland because of what was described as "the extreme anti-Israel policies of the Irish government". The taoiseach said the decision was "deeply regrettable" while the tánaiste said Ireland did not intend to respond in kind.[130]
