I am informed by the Garda authorities that the study was included as a policy review in the Garda Policing Plan 2004. The main element of the study was a survey of over 2,000 second level students in two Garda regions, the Dublin metropolitan region and the eastern region. It was supplemented by focus group discussions with hard-to-reach groups under the auspices of the Irish Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children.

The report was finalised by the Garda research unit in October 2005 and is currently under consideration by the Garda authorities. It has not yet been forwarded to my Department.
