There has been renewed calls for the ban of website ask.fm - after the suicide of an English schoolgirl is being blamed on the site.

A website linked to cyberbullying and teen suicides is now one of the world’s most popular social networks after its newly released app became a huge hit.

Ireland’s internet service providers have hit out at proposals that the Government should force them to introduce widespread automatic filters to block access by children to pornography.

SEEING pornography online may be harmful to children, but it may not.

The Happy teenager. It sounds like the title of a fairytale.

The extent of cyberbullying is felt more by Irish children than others in Europe, with almost one in four here having been bullied either online or offline in the past year.

IT WAS said that children would switch off when they went to school.

WHEN Kildare woman Joan (not her real name) investigated her daughter’s online activity, she was shocked.

A hard-hitting student video showing the dangers of cyber-bullying is to become part a national programme that aims to keep kids safe online.

MORE Irish children consider they spend too much time on the internet than their European counterparts.

IRISH children are among the safest in Europe in their internet behaviour but almost one-in-10 has seen sexual images online.
