- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills: School Bullying and the Impact on Mental Health: Discussion (Resumed) (15 Jun 2021)
Aisling Dolan: I very much welcome the DCU research team and particularly Professor O'Higgins Norman. It is fantastic to have the UNESCO chair on anti-bullying. Dr. Mazzone has presented to the committee previously and I have spoken to Mr. Heaney on the roll-out of the FUSE programme. I thank the witnesses for their work and their presentations as we begin our research into bullying. We have dealt with...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills: School Bullying and the Impact on Mental Health: Discussion (Resumed) (15 Jun 2021)
Aisling Dolan: How do we evaluate how we support schools to roll this out? From the sample that has been taken, schools have not been able to implement this and it has been in place since 2013. When Professor O'Higgins Norman says "audit", does he mean updating the strategy or is it an audit whereby we go out to the schools to evaluate whether they have put these measures in place and, if not, why not.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills: School Bullying and the Impact on Mental Health: Discussion (Resumed) (15 Jun 2021)
Aisling Dolan: I thank Professor O'Higgins Norman. I will pose my final question to him also because perhaps it is most relevant and perhaps he has some ideas on it. How do we roll this out to more schools? Does Professor O'Higgins Norman have a response to this? Although 127 schools per year is excellent it will never meet the 4,500 primary and post-primary schools we have. How will this be done?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills: School Bullying and the Impact on Mental Health: Discussion (Resumed) (15 Jun 2021)
Aisling Dolan: In other words, would a regional approach be more suitable? DCU has the expert skillset but surely there is a need to roll it out so we have groups set up in regional areas to drive connecting with these schools. I do not see how it is feasible at the numbers that have been mentioned if we want to achieve this within the next three to four years.

As Fine Gael spokesperson for education, I am very happy to support it, especially as it includes schools. The Minister of State has highlighted that as one of the key areas in the Bill. That is so crucial because through the Green Schools...
