Thought in the wake of the Minister for Chidren saying that teenagers should be involved in the ongoing debate about the age of consent that I’d throw the floor open to the listeners of my show.

I’ve opened a poll on the show Bebo and so far it pans out like this:

What should the age of consent be in Ireland?

a) 18 (19%)

b) 17 (31%)

c) 16 (40%)

d) 15 (7%)

e) Other (0%)

Will let you know how it goes over the next week or so…
