Mr. David Duffy:

The Senator mentioned rural areas. Often in rural areas the schoolteacher is the heart of the local GAA club. There are often possibilities there with regard to the transmission of information. We also need to be careful not to make schools responsible for investigating things that happen in the local GAA club which the club itself is well able to manage. I am using the GAA club as an example, I am not referring exclusively to GAA clubs. If the school got involved in such matters, it could end up making matters worse by spreading the issue across the community. It is an issue of boundaries for different organisations.
