Unfortunately, cyber bullying has been cited as the cause of many young people's suicides, including quite recently. I have raised with the Taoiseach the criminal justice (cybercrime) Bill, but that legislation concerns attacks on computer IT systems in large corporations. Has the Taoiseach any plans for legislation to deal with the issue of cyber bullying which is affecting so many young people? I know it is not a straightforward issue and is, in fact, quite a complex one to deal with because many websites are hosted outside the country. We need a roadmap to deal with the matter.

This issue is clearly of great concern to many people, arising from recent tragic events. The heads of this Bill have been cleared, but it is exceptionally complex. Work on it is ongoing but I cannot give the Deputy a date when it will be published. Events are taking their tragic toll, however. I would urge the many young people who may be contacted in this way not to be afraid to talk to those responsible in authority to follow through on these things in order that tragedies can be prevented. As soon as the complexities are ironed out, the Bill can be dealt with.
