Professor Hymel mentioned in reply to Deputy Ó Murchú forms of social and relational bullying. Have we to be careful that we do not interfere too much in the ability of children to form relationships? Obviously, a child may feel excluded by other children who have formed friendships. There may be no intention behind the exclusion of that child, however. Is that something we might also need to counteract?
