Just off Highland Radio, where I was discussing the Moquito system with a representative of Youth Work Ireland and Sammy Wasson of Mac Security in Letterkenny.
I’m opposed to the system, as I’ve mentioned here before. I don’t believe the system is fair, and on my last post Damien Mulley raised the question of the legality [...]
