I still do not understand if it would be realistic for the committee to make a recommendation that hotline.ie would be the first point of contact. In my view we are talking about a fairly significant increase in workload. In May 2008 a survey was conducted of about 2,800 students, more than 16% of whom reported having received an abusive text outside of school. Not all of these would have been illegal.
