Today we heard the views of children and young people on online safety in the Committee on Children and Equality. Some of the statistics were shocking. - 1 in 8 children have had an intimate image of them shared (from a survey of 4000 children). - Children are going out less as a result of social media usage. - 13 year olds said they don't want their younger siblings to be on social media as they consider it's effects to be damaging. - Online bullying is rife. - We asked should there be a ban for under 16's? The answer is...."it's complex - kids will find a way around it." What are we calling for? - There needs to be pushback on the social media companies to take more responsibility. - Parents need to have greater awareness of what their children are looking at online. We are committed to providing a safer environment for our children online.
About us
Founded in 1926 by Éamon DeValera, Fianna Fáil is a progressive republican movement of people that is currently the largest party in Dáil Éireann. Led by Micheál Martin TD since 2011, the party is focused on building An Ireland For All through sustained investment in public services. Find out more information on our plans for Ireland by visiting our website, www.fiannafail.ie or our other social media channels. Fianna Fáil represents the mainstream of Irish life. It is the only party which on several occasions has commanded overall majorities in Dáil Éireann. Since its foundation Fianna Fáil has been the single most coherent force in Irish politics, so much so indeed that alternative governments have been characterised by their opposition to Fianna Fáil as their only common bond. Electorally Fianna Fáil is second only to the Social Democrats in Sweden in its length of tenure in office. Fianna Fáil adheres to the great democratic principle of government of the people, by the people and for the people. The party’s name incorporates the words ‘The Republican Party’ in its title. Republican here stands both for the unity of the island and a commitment to the historic principles of European republican philosophy, namely liberty, equality and fraternity. Fianna Fáil has always had a ‘can do’ attitude. The Party has always been positive and never defeatist in its thinking. Fianna Fáil aims to unite all in a common identity of self-confident Irish men and women in a dynamic, vibrant, prosperous nation.
