I thank the Minister. I return to the original theme of that question, namely, whether it might be desirable to have the schools report directly to the Department to ensure a universal application of the rules. Have any comparisons been made between the number of incidents reported in each of the past three or four years with a view to measuring the number of incidents after the new regulations were introduced? How many tragic incidents have occurred in schools which are deemed to have resulted from school bullying? Has a particular strategy been developed to address that issue?
