Enda Kenny thinks we need a ‘national conversation’ about PORN
Uh, Enda Kenny thinks Irish people need to talk about pornography… but the public don't seem too happy about it.
According to the Independent, the Taoiseach thinks there needs to be a national conversation about how porn is damaging the minds of the Irish youth.
While at a launch for a free helpline for victims of crime, Enda said: “Our young people are growing up imagining that what they see on the screen might be normal sexual behaviour.
“There has to be a discussion about this in terms of families and children and the kind of society that is evolving.
“What used to be termed as ‘lads magazines’ have grown to be replaced with pornography that’s as ubiquitous as it is damaging.
“Our young people that are growing up, imagining what they see on a screen is normal sexual behaviour, there has to be a discussion about this.”
However, over on Twitter, the public had a few things to say about Enda's thoughts:
So we need a 'national conversation' about porn but we'll keep ignoring the need for legal abortion, sounds fab @EndaKennyTD #repealthe8th

The embarrassment that is #EndaKenny continues. Wants a national conversation on porn, but not on #suicide, #mentalhealth, #homelessness…

The irony of Enda Kenny talking about his concerns for young minds.
How about treating teachers and young minds education with respect.— Mark Malone (@soundmigration) October 27, 2016
