Should you be forced to register to watch pornography?

Should you be forced to register to watch pornography? The government has delayed bringing in a legal requirement to prove your age, if any of you are watching pornography online. It is designed to protect under 18 year olds from the dangers of porn. But there are lots of issues in this. Everybody having to register will mean if you are 30, or in your 40's or 50's, the government may be able to trace your porn consumption. And will 16 and 17 year olds really not get around the age checks? This was debated on the Top Table last night. Our panel of young people were up against Antoin O Lachnain - Director of Digital rights Ireland, MP Col. Bob Stewart, Kathryn Szrodecki - size acceptance campaigner and Siobhan O'Connor - journalist and broadcaster. We got reaction this morning from commentator Heidi McAlpin and NI Conservative party member Frank Shivers.

Also on the programme, he joined the RUC as a teenager at the height of the Troubles, and rose through the ranks to the top job. This weekend, after 34 years as a policeman, Sir George Hamilton will retire as Chief Constable of the PSNI. He joined Stephen in studio this morning.

All that and more on the biggest show in the country...
