Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills

School Bullying and the Impact on Mental Health: Discussion (Resumed)

Mr. Hugh Ahern:

Such an event took place in my former primary school when some parents were speaking about cyberbullying. Perhaps the Department of Education could look at running an information campaign about cyberbullying on social media platforms. It could advertise it in magazines and newspapers. A national media campaign could work very well in that regard. It is such an important topic. Only in the recent years are people starting to take interest in cyberbullying. The Department of Education or the Department with responsibility for communication should look at a media campaign to promote the prevention of cyberbullying.
