Joint Oireachtas Committee on Arts, Media, Communications, Culture and Sport

MeDeMAP Research Project: Engagement with the National Citizens' Parliament for Media and Democracy

2:00 am

Ms Moya Ní Cheallaigh:

This is my personal opinion, and we did not really talk about this, but this could tap into parenting skills as well. As the Cathaoirleach said, his children come to him. It is great they can do that, but a lot of parents are very happy to hand out phones to young kids and leave them to figure it all out by themselves. We need to have more education on that because if kids did not have access to this stuff in the first place, maybe they would not need to be learning about media literacy at such a young age.
