The father of a teen, whose suicide was linked to the controversial Ask.Fm, doesn't want to stop the company moving here.

The social networking site plans to set up shop in Dublin.

15 year old Ciara Pugsley died by suicide in County Leitrim in 2012.

Her death was linked to cyber bullying on the Latvian based web site Ask dot FM, which allows users to post anonymous comments.

Yesterday Ciara's dad Jonathan Pugsley was outraged to learn the company wants to move here, and that he'd try to stop it.

But today he has told 98FM News he's had time to think, and perhaps some good could come out it: 

Earlier today Foreign Affairs Minister Charlie Flanagan said he was concerned about Ask.FM's plans to relocate to Dublin - and that he planned to raise it at today's cabinet meeting.
