The Government's digital wallet, which is being beta-tested, might be needed to access pornography online.

It's part of a bid to prevent under 18s accessing adult sites, according to the Irish Times.

It is linked to a person's social welfare information and is currently being trialled.

The Sexual Exploitation Research and Policy Institute says a survey of fourth year students found they have been exposed to pornography online from as young as seven.

They report that State agency, Cuan last year suggested the Government follow restrictions similar to those enacted by the UK, which saw a 77% drop in traffic to Pornhub.
