Should we ban smartphones in restaurants?

Would you like to see a smartphone ban in restaurants? A French bistro in north-eastern France banned smartphones at the table last year and said that the policy is not deterring diners, and is actually encouraging them to order more food as they continue their conversations! Would you like to see something similar introduced here? Claire McKenna is joined by Darina Allen, Chef, Food Writer and Founder of Ballymaloe Cookery School, Laura Mullet, Journalist & Stylist and more to discuss.
