I thank the Minister for his reply. I welcome the publication of the guidelines for mental health promotion and suicide prevention and the action plan on bullying. These are important initiatives and it is important that schools have guidance and the strategies they need to adopt to ensure children are safe in the school grounds and that their mental health is a core concern. The Minister mentioned €500,000 for the action plan on bullying. Has he allocated any money for supporting the guidelines for mental health promotion and suicide prevention alongside this?
