Jim Daly is looking to implement a smart phone prohibition and fine both parents and retails if they sell unrestricted smart phones to children.

Seems like a very archaic law and falls under the nanny state bucket. I think he is going to find it very hard to get in place. When you have cyber safety Ireland calling it a prohibition and that education is needed rather than fines on parents i think your on to a loser.
