I wish to raise the grave issue of suicide, in particular suicide by young people, and the growing menace of cyberbullying. Ireland has the fourth highest rate of teen suicide in Europe. No corner of Ireland is unaffected by these tragedies. Cyberbullying is increasingly cited in the deaths. Bullying can lead to depression, anxiety, sleep deprivation and the drastic decision by a young person to take his or her own life. Desperate children and distraught parents need help and the bullies need to be addressed. Young people need to be given hope, access to services and coping skills. What steps is the Government taking to address the menace of cyberbullying and the issue of young people taking their own lives?
