Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills

School Bullying and the Impact on Mental Health: Discussion (Resumed)

Ms Saoirse Brady:

I think so. The only place where that freedom of expression might be in question is where it crosses a line. We are looking at the introduction of hate crime legislation which is obviously the extreme, I am not saying that is what happens, but a line will be drawn and that is where we can look at it. Discussion and respectful debate is the way forward. That always helps to address some of the issues that arise for people, particularly around bullying.
