Ann Ormonde (Fianna Fail)

I wish to extend my sympathy to the families bereaved by the awful crash in County Meath. I support Senator O'Toole's comments on how post-traumatic stress that can arise from such an event should be handled. I do not know if there is any hard or fast model that can be introduced as each child has a different personality type. However, it needs to be teased out with collective responsibility. Clinical and educational psychologists, counsellors and teachers need to be involved in this process. It is necessary to think this out more for future reference. There will be many traumatised leaving certificate students going into examinations who will need all the support we can give them at this time.
