Richard Hogan: We've a beautiful country but what do we have to offer bored teenagers?

There are very limited options for families and children to connect and enjoy themselves outside of technology. I think we need more investment in the Arts and in family events

Richard Hogan: "When I ask parents 'if they were not on their devices what would they be doing?', I am regularly met with silence."

Ireland is a beautiful country. Whenever I have been away from it for an extended period of time, I’m always overcome with the same feelings when I return — its magnificence, the landscape, the air, the people, the language, the space, our culture, and how we treat each other.

There is no place like it. I have been fortunate with my work to travel all over this country, meeting the good people of Ireland. I visit every county in Ireland many times a year, delivering talks and hearing families and the issues that are coming up for them with their children.
