Speakers at an ISPCC awareness campaign, held yesterday in Castlebar, Co Mayo, warned parents that children accessing pornography on the internet was a growing problem.

“More could still be done by the internet industry to curb this, because there’s a lot of material on the net that’s unsuitable for children.
