The students from first year to third year are definitely not informed on the information on consent itself or even harassment. I attend a school in Dublin, and fourth year to sixth year is when we really go into detail about consent and even pornography or harassment. The teachers are bit nervous or just a bit squeamish almost to teach first years, which are 12- to 13-year-olds, about what it is and why can we not do it. In their eyes, they are still young and they do not understand just yet. However, even as a third year, I do not learn about it in my RSE curriculum. It takes one lesson in TY and maybe an hour or an hour and a half to go over everything on consent on the curriculum and that is finished. Of my six years in school, that is my only lesson of consent or anything about that.
