I thank Deputy McAuliffe for his warm welcome. I really appreciate it. In terms of preventative measures, it is about educating not just men and boys but people in general. We need more integration. We need to look at our education system, institutions and same-sex schools. Part of the issue, to borrow Deputy McAuliffe's phrase, is prevention rather than intervention. If we can get them at that early stage to acknowledge equality of the sexes that will go a long way to doing away with the malaise we experience in later life. Somebody also mentioned the media. Advertising and trying to discontinue stereotypical product promotion can also get to homes. That would be a way of educating people within homes without being too intrusive.
