Speaking at the launch, Education Minister Norma Foley said that education has a “very significant” role to play in the strategy, saying that work has already been undertaken to ensure students have access to information on issues like domestic and sexual violence.“There’s an acknowledgement that we live in the 21st century, our students need to have the confidence and skillsets themselves to look at issues around sexual harassment, identifying bullying,” said Foley.

Foley said that the Department is currently “quite along the way” in putting the curriculum in place in schools.

I'd say women (and men) feel safer already knowing there's a curriculum change on the way. Much better than concrete steps to increase detection and conviction rates. Why bother with robust sentences and enforcing orders when you can bore students with PowerPoint slides instead?

Isn't this kinda a parent's job to an extent

Woke social engineering.

This wasn't already part of it?

she doesnt allow serial sex offenders to be deported and she doesnt even allow any more deportations , why the feck is that?

The media's love affair with McEntee is bizarre. Like deers caught in headlights.

is that what replaces calculus?

will these issues be addressed in regards to the masses of people we're bringing in from backward cultures ? especially after what happened in tullamore and sligo ?

Great. Try medical schools next.
