Senior ministers have condemned the attack on a teenage boy in Navan, arguing that it is not representative of young people in Ireland.
Speaking in Shannon, Education Minister Norma Foley vowed that psychology supports would be offered to the child by her department if they were required.“I think it is nothing short of shocking and appalling,” she said.“I meet with young people all the time. I spent many, many years working with them. This is not a reflection of who they are. This is not who we are in this country.
“From our point of view in the Department, we are very keen that any supports that he will need going forward, whether it is from a NEPs [National Educational Psychological Service] point of view or any supports of that nature, we will not be found wanting,Justice Minister Simon Harris, meanwhile, said that the video being shared online “stopped us all in our tracks”.
