The background of a school tells a lot. Catholic Education, an Irish Schools Trust, CEIST, schools have to be extremely careful in this regard. I was in a CEIST-funded school for four or five years but not at primary level. I actually received more sex education in primary school than I had in secondary school. From what I have been hearing, a lot of CEIST schools, in Cork, Kerry, Dublin and Connacht, are very limited in the sex education they are providing. The RSE curriculum was adjusted last December. It has developed into talking about periods and menopause, as well as sex education. The worry is that the changes were to be included as part of the junior certificate portfolio of the curriculum but that was not done. I do not understand, even with the RSE adjustment being made, how the changes are going to be followed through. I hope there will be some kind of check-up and follow-on in schools. An organisation wanted to go into schools and provide training and education, which would be amazing.

Exactly as Bel said, the rise in pornography usage is partially because AI can bring up deep fakes from the Internet. If children do not have access to those sites on Google Chrome or whatever they use, they can still go onto their Snapchat AI feature and access whatever they want. The restrictions have not been made clear enough or adjusted. There are no proper guidelines. To me, that says the problem is getting out of control.
