Anne Rabbitte tells Seanad huge demand from parents for more online safety programmes in schools

There's huge demand from concerned parents for more online safety programmes in schools.

That's according to Senator Anne Rabbitte who says there is a substantial paragraph on digital safety for young people in the Programme for Government.

Fianna Fail Senator Rabbitte says a recent meeting in Clarinbridge showed there's huge demand.
