Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills
School Bullying and the Impact on Mental Health: Discussion (Resumed)
Mr. Seamus Mulconry:
When Senator Dolan talked about us not engaging with schools at this time, she may be referring to a letter which I wrote on behalf of all of the primary management bodies back in February. It was not a CPSMA position, it was a joint position. The rationale for it at the time is that we were engaged in discussions with the Department on reopening schools and did not feel in a position to engage in a survey with our own schools because they had a lot going on at the time. It was not an unwillingness to engage with the issue.
