Monitoring European corporal punishment cases

Summary

Horgan asks whether officials are following pending European cases on corporal punishment in schools; the Minister assures him they are keeping a close eye on Europe.

Might I finally ask the Minister whether he is further aware of the fact that there are two other cases specifically dealing with corporal punishment in schools which are pending in Europe and whether he is causing his officials to keep a close watch on the progress of this case as it goes through the European Court of Human Rights?

Comment on this

I can assure the Deputy that my officials keep a very close eye on Europe, on Ireland and on me.
