Ms Muireann Whelan:

It is not about taking the social element out of social media but, rather, addressing the issue of young people who get home from school, go straight upstairs, spend hours on their phone and do not socialise with their families. I agree that social media can be amazing but there are also downfalls for younger people in terms of how it is consuming their lives. It is media, not social media. Much attention is focused on how amazing a should person look all of the time.
