I have a final question before Senator Dolan takes over. One of the points that has arisen repeatedly is that schools cannot do everything by themselves. Teachers and boards of management will do their best, but one thing that is needed to tackle bullying is to ensure that schools have enough access to trained counsellors and that child and adolescent mental health services, CAMHS, are properly resourced to ensure that young people are supported and, indeed, staff as well. This is something Hugh has spoken about too. Is this something he, his friends and his peer group in school talk about much? Would he be of the view that there is a serious need, and that there are inadequate resources at present for CAMHS and for counselling for young people, not just at school but more generally?
