Ms Muireann Whelan:
I was in a restaurant the other night and when a baby started to cry, the mother or the father just handed it an iPad and put on a show. They thought they were fine and could have a nice dinner and enjoy themselves. I say this a lot, but it takes the social from social media. People are quiet if we give them technology.
