Senator Jim Walsh raised the question of corporal punishment. In a way, I understand his point because in the area in which I live children of seven years of age give one cheek. They know exactly what their rights are. They break into garages and, when challenged, threaten to get the Garda or have one up in court. The problem is one of balance. Nevertheless, I would hesitate to reintroduce corporal punishment. We have heard all about the clerical sexual abuse of children. I went to an upmarket Protestant boarding school where the most vicious and deviant physical attacks on children took place which ruined lives and drove a number of people I know into areas bordering on criminality. That issue has never been addressed. We need to be extremely careful when considering the introduction of such a measure.
