Adult magazines too easy to access for kids - McClarty
Newsagents in the Coleraine area of Co Antrim are being asked to crack down on the sale of adult magazines to children.
Ulster Unionist Westminster candidate David McClarty said concerns had been raised with him over the “seemingly easy” access some children have to them in the area.
“I think it is time that newsagents selling these type of publications reviewed where they display them on their premises,” Mr McClarty said. “They must ensure that neither they nor their staff sell them to youngsters.
“While I believe these type of magazines shouldn’t be on sale at all, it used to be that they would have been placed well out of the way on top shelves and often sealed.”
Mr McClarty said he would be appealing to newsagents to reappraise their policy on selling magazines with an adult content, “ensuring that children who are not even in their teens cannot access them”.
