Following in the footsteps of Australia late last year, the Irish government are considering placing a ban on social media for children under 16.
While politicians and experts discuss the correct course of action to take on this issue, Studyclix surveyed over 1,700 of its teenager users to get the opinion of those affected by the potential ban. 
Andy, Aisling and Erin got on the mic to discuss the results of the survey, as well as give their take on the whole thing.
