I confirm I am in Leinster House. I have been following the debate and it has been very interesting. I will focus my contribution on following up on issues that have been already raised and trying to flesh them out further. Ms O'Connor called for a review of anti-bullying procedures. Many of us attending this meeting have been involved in education for most of our working lives or we serve on boards of management and so on and we have some knowledge of how the anti-bullying procedures work at board of management level and within schools. For the benefit of the wider public, I ask Ms O'Connor to flesh out specifically where there is a failing or a lacking in regard to the current procedures.
