Irish children half as likely to see net porn as Danish children

Irish children are half as likely as their Danish counterparts to have seen sexual images online or offline in the last 12 months, according to a study.

The report, published by the EU Kids Online project run by a department at the London school of Economics, ranked the experiences of seven European countries based on two separate studies into internet usage — the 2010 EU Kids Online study and Net Children Go Mobile which began last year.

It found across both reports, Irish children were only ahead of their counterparts in the UK when it came to the likelihood of them having seen sexual images in the past year.
