Ms Deirdre McDonnell:

To add to what Mr. Loftus has said, we are developing a training and resource plan for boards of management and parents as part of the action plan on bullying. That will be based on the new procedures which we are developing for roll-out from September. That is what some of the €500,000 will be used for. It will support boards of management and parents to ensure that everybody is fully informed of how to deal effectively with bullying in schools. That is part of the roll-out.
