I will preface it by saying I do not think there is a level of bullying we should accept within our society. Seeing as the witnesses' presentation was one of the few presentations we have had that has had that international context because of the involvement with UNESCO, I want to ask a question that reflects that international context as to where Ireland sits in terms of the prevalence of bullying, the prevalence of different forms of bullying and our success or lack of it in tackling bullying. The obvious add-on question is this: wherever we sit, is there some place we should look to that is doing a really good job of tackling bullying?
