Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills
Review of Relationships and Sexuality Education: Discussion (Resumed)
4:00 pm
Dr. Debbie Ging:
Mobile phones are just part of the general gamut of technologies so my concerns would be more about content rather than whether or not schools decide to ban them. I have not given that a huge amount of thought. It is more about how they are being used in terms of sexting and the policy of the school or the RSE programme is with regard to sexting. That opens up a whole other range of questions about sexual rights as opposed to blocking or censorship that need to be explored there.
