I welcome our guests and thank them for their thoughtful contributions. My first question is to Ms O'Connor. I was very interested in what she has to say in respect of the past 15 months or so and how it appears to be noticeable that schools have to deal with the consequences of bullying by way of cyberbullying taking place outside of the school context. Are we putting too much of an obligation on teachers and schools to try to resolve the problem of bullying that happens outside of the school and, if schools do not play a part in it, where does that leave us with children and trying to respond to it?
