Bullying highlighted as top children's concern

Bullying is being highlighted as one of the main concerns children have with our education system.

Children from all over the country gathered in Co Dublin today for the first ever 'Dáil na bPáisti'.

They have been airing their views all morning about drug and alcohol abuse and problems they have with our education system.

Francis Spillane of National Children's Office says the Department of Education will be made aware of the issues raised at the event.
