The ‘new Anti-Bullying Procedures launched my Minister Quinn today involve a significant updating of the 1993 guidelines and they provide much-needed clarity to schools and parents about the nature of bullying and how schools and parents can collaboratively address a problem that has reached epidemic proportions in the Internet age’ says Michael Moriarty, General Secretary of Education and Training Boards Ireland (ETBI). 

 
‘Minister Quinn’s proposals for reforming school admissions are a reasonable and proportionate response to addressing a problem that many parents face each year in obtaining a school place for their sons or daughters’ says Michael Moriarty, General Secretary of Education and Training Boards Ireland (ETBI).
