All forms of bullying are cruel, but cyberbullying is particularly cowardly. We have seen too many instances of cyber bullying in recent times and observed how it has destroyed lives and even resulted in deaths in many parts of the country. It is increasingly common in schools, clubs and other such places. When will the criminal justice (cyber crime) Bill be brought before the House?

It is important that we make communities around the country safer by focusing on victims' rights and making life tougher for criminals. All of us have encountered cases in which criminals were better equipped than the Garda Síochána.

What is the second Bill?

When can we expect the criminal justice (miscellaneous provisions) Bill to be brought before the House?

The second Bill is due to be published in the middle of next year. In respect of cyberbullying, there is no date for publication of that Bill, but the report of the Oireachtas Joint Committee on Transport and Communications will be discussed this Friday and the Minister for Communications, Energy and Natural Resources will attend the discussion. That is progress and Members will have an opportunity to discuss the implications of their own report.

Will Deputy James Bannon be here on Friday?

I am always here on Fridays.
