Cecilia Keaveney (Fianna Fail)

I thank the Minister for her substantial response. She put on record the difficulty for children in these situations, although it was not included in her script. In developing the strategy the Department should focus on getting people to talk, be it the neighbour or the person involved, with the idea that children are at the core of this and experience it. They are often a minor player in the issue but their attitudes are scarred for life. They can then possibly become the perpetrators in the next generation.
