I have a couple of questions. There are other members who spoke in the past while where I had to curtail their time, if they want to come back in.

Turning to Ms Keating first, the training of teachers comes under her remit and she may be able to answer this. Bullying, be it online bullying, in-class bullying or inside-the-school-gate bullying, has changed over the past number of years. It is getting more complex, year-on-year. Has the curriculum for teacher training changed in any way over the past number of years to cater for the changes in bullying and the complex issue that it is? I refer to training a teacher and trying to equip him or her regarding bullying, which has definitely changed dramatically over the past five, ten or 20 years. Teachers now have to look out for something different. It might come to other complex needs of a pupil. They might be able to outline some of the changes that have occurred in the past number of years.
