ISPCC in Cork answered 40,000 calls last year
The Cork Branch of the ISPCC answered over 40,000 calls from children via childline last year.
It comes as the charity voiced its concerns about the level of cyber bullying in Cork.
They say an increase in cyber bullying often means that the child being bullied feels they have no safe space to hide.

Speaking to RedFM News Anne Marie Spillane from Cork's ISPCC says the calls to childline cover a wide variety of topics:
