Show Notes

Yesterday on the show Kieran spoke with Eric Nelligan, who is a teacher, Assistant Principal and Aontú Spokesperson on Education and Richard Hogan, Family Psychologist and author of ‘Home Is Where The Start Is’, who debated whether phone bans would work.

It’s after the Ombudsman for Children’s Office said blanket bans on phones are not in the best interest of children.

Today, Kieran is joined to discuss by Fionn McWeeney, who was a member of the Youth Advisory Group in the Ombudsman for Children Office, who helped in an advisory role with the Smart Phone Ban report.
