Professor Dooley also spoke about sexual consent and the potential it has to cause severe mental health issues for students. A previous group spoke to the committee on this issue. Can more be done in that area in second level to educate people going into third level, including, for those in their mid to late teens, how they manage their sexual orientation? I know time has moved on fantastically in the last five to ten years and it is very welcome that people can now express themselves more comfortably. However, a large number of students do not have the confidence around that. Ms O'Sullivan spoke about suicide and this issue can often lead to suicide. What are Professor Dooley's and Ms O'Sullivan's views on that? Could Professor Dooley answer first?
