Taoiseach calls for discussion on porn as minds of young people being 'corrupted'

Taoiseach Enda Kenny has called for a national discussion on pornography as the minds of the young people are being “corrupted and tainted by an avalanche of this kind of material”.

Mr Kenny said that as children grow up with easy access to the internet, they can be exposed to a pornography that is “as ubiquitous as it is damaging”.

Mr Kenny said: “It’s always important that we should have a national conversation about what is important for our children — what is, and should be, a priority for our children when they’re growing up, and when they grow up.
