Schools must 'pull up socks' to stop bullying

A parents’ group today urged schools to “pull up their socks” following a €10,000 award to a pupil who was bullied.

Cillin O’Donnchadha, 10, was verbally abused, kicked, punched and spat at while he attended Scoill Chearbhaill Uí Dhalaigh in Leixlip, County Kildare.
