How Can We Stop Our Children Watching Porn?

Earlier this week, two teenage boys were convicted of the murder of 14-year-old schoolgirl Ana Kriegel. One of the talking points of the trial was the huge amount of pornography that was found on Boy A's phone, which has resulted in calls for age-related porn blockers. Would this be the best way forward in preventing children from accessing porn? To debate this issue, we were joined by Andy O'Donoghue from The Last Word's weekly Tech Tuesday slot, John Church, chief executive of the Irish Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children (ISPCC), Noeline Blackwell, CEO of the Dublin Rape Crisis Centre, and barrister Ronan Lupton, who is a specialist in media law and privacy.
