Sir, – I am delighted to see an Irish internet service provider offer content filtering for Irish families ("UPC to enable blocking of internet content from March", Mark Hilliard, December 27th).
Only the most technically aware Irish parent will be capable of adequately filtering all the internet access devices in the typical home. It requires skills across multiple technology platforms, pitting wits against the urges and skills of curious teenagers. Network-level filtering is the only effective tool to protect Irish children from disturbing and inappropriate content.
I look forward to more service providers following suit as soon as possible. – Yours, etc,
ULRIC KENNY,
