The Law Reform Commission recently produced a report and published a draft Bill on tackling the negative aspects of social media and the digital revolution. The commission's comprehensive report proposes the appointment of a digital safety commissioner, the introduction of new criminal offences dealing with the posting of intimate images online and the reform of the existing offences of harassment and sending threatening and intimidating messages. When will the Government introduce legislation on this issue?

I thank the Law Reform Commission for the work it has done in this area. The Government will consider its work as a matter of urgency to see what legislation is necessary arising from the recommendations the commission has made. The Criminal Law (Sexual Offences) Bill, which will be discussed in the House next week, addresses some of the points raised by the LRC, for example, online abuse and the sexual grooming of children.
