I have two more questions. One is on bullying. I mentioned anxiety earlier on but bullying is an issue. Some Traveller children find they do not go to school because of the bullying culture that can be in a school. I am aware of the programme called Cineáltas: Action Plan on Bullying. Is that helping and supporting the Traveller children who are experiencing bulling who may decide not to go to school because of it?
