About SafeScreen Ireland

SafeScreen Ireland is a community-focused awareness event created to help everyday people build confidence and good habits when using the internet, email, banking apps and online shopping. We are not a security software company and we do not sell any product or service during the event — our sessions are strictly educational.

The event brings together independent digital-safety educators and local community volunteers who share practical, easy-to-follow guidance based on real-world examples of common online scams and privacy risks. Whether you are comfortable with technology or just getting started, sessions are designed to be accessible and jargon-free.

On 23 July 2026, attendees can join us in person at our Dublin venue or follow the full programme through a live online stream from home. Both options include access to the Q&A sessions where you can ask questions relevant to your own situation.
