Tánaiste Simon Harris said he would agree with a ban, similar to that being discussed in Australia, for under-16s.

Websites like Roblox and YouTube would need to be included in any social media ban for children.

That's the view of Cyber Safe Kids, after Tánaiste Simon Harris said he would agree with a ban, similar to that being discussed in Australia, for under-16s.

It would see young users forbidden access to apps like Instagram, Facebook and TikTok.
