Non-fatal offences Bill
Alan Farrell asked for an update on the non-fatal offences against the person (amendment) Bill and its relevance to cyber security work. Coveney said the Bill was in preparation and an update would come in a few weeks.
Can the Minister advise on the status of the non-fatal offences against the person (amendment) Bill, which I understand will focus on addressing aspects of the Law Reform Commission report from last year, which is particularly important for the work of the Oireachtas Committee on Children and Youth Affairs in respect of its hearings on cyber security? The Minister might update the House on that matter.

That Bill is in preparation. We will have an update on it in a few weeks. We do not have an exact timeline now.
