Longford County Council Library Services will host a free internet safety talk for parents and guardians on Wednesday, 22 October at 7 pm in Longford Town Library.
The session addresses the challenges parents face when their child receives their first smartphone, covering apps, artificial intelligence, screen time, misinformation and cyberbullying.
Siobhan Grealy, Longford County Council STEM Officer, will facilitate the talk alongside the local community Garda, providing practical advice on keeping children safe online whilst fostering personal responsibility.
Cathaoirleach of Longford County Council, Cllr Garry Murtagh, said, “This talk gives parents the tools they need at a critical moment in their child’s life. Understanding the digital world our young people inhabit isn’t optional anymore—it’s essential parenting knowledge, and we’re proud to make this expertise freely available to our community.”
Chief Executive Paddy Mahon added, “Internet safety sits at the heart of modern child welfare. By bringing together professional guidance and local policing expertise, we’re equipping Longford families with clear, actionable information that protects children whilst respecting their growing independence.”
The event is free, but booking is required through longfordlibrary.ie or by calling 043 334 0727.
