Government has no plans for sex filters

DESPITE the ongoing debate in Britain, there are no plans here to introduce pornography filtering in Ireland, according to the Department of Justice.

And the Department of Education has no plans to update the Social, Personal and Health Education (SPHE) syllabus in schools, which youth groups say is woefully outdated.

The Department of Education states that access to pornography on children’s phones is primarily a matter for parents as they are the primary educators of children.
